Bill > HB3470

This bill amends two existing Illinois laws - the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act and the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act - to explicitly protect union representatives' rights to access cannabis-related business premises. Specifically, the bill ensures that union representatives cannot be prevented from entering these workplaces to meet with employees who want to speak with them, regardless of any other existing provisions in these laws. This means that employees working in medical cannabis dispensaries, cultivation centers, or other cannabis-regulated businesses will have guaranteed opportunities to meet with their union representatives on-site, without interference from employers. The bill uses the phrase "Notwithstanding any other provision" to make it clear that this right to union access supersedes any potential conflicting rules or restrictions in the existing cannabis-related legislation.
