Bill > HB3074

This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for cannabis delivery organization licensing in Illinois, requiring the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to issue licenses through a detailed application process. Applicants must submit a $500 application fee, provide extensive information about their organization including principal officers, business plans, and proposed employment practices, and must qualify as a social equity applicant. The bill mandates that the Department develop a scoring system for applications based on various criteria such as employee training, security plans, labor practices, environmental impact, and diversity goals. Cannabis delivery organizations must comply with strict operational requirements, including maintaining detailed records, using secure transportation methods, and ensuring no cannabis is visible during transit. The bill also requires background checks for all principal officers, board members, and agents, and mandates that agents obtain identification cards and follow specific protocols during cannabis transportation. Licenses and agent identification cards will be renewed annually, with a $500 renewal fee, and the Department retains the ability to deny, suspend, or revoke licenses for various infractions, such as providing false information or failing to meet regulatory standards.
