MARIJUANA BILLS IN ILLINOIS
Companion medical marijuana bills have been introduced in the Illinois
Senate and House by a bipartisan coalition of legislators. Like laws in
Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, Oregon, and
Washington, SB 2440 and HB 04868 would permit seriously ill patients to use
and possess medical marijuana with their doctors' recommendation, without
fear of arrest.
The Senate version is sponsored by Sen. Carol Ronen, D-Chicago, and the
House bill is sponsored by Rep. Angelo Saviano, R-River Grove, and
cosponsored by Reps. Larry McKeon, D-Chicago, and Susana Mendoza, D-Chicago.
