Under House Bill 1443, "Social Equity" applicants would be permitted to open up pot shops within 1,500 feet of existing locations to compete with the established multi-state operators who dominate the state's cannabis industry.
SPRINGFIELD, IL — As the spring legislative session heads into its final week, Illinois state representatives Tuesday passed a bill that aims to clear the way for nearly 200 additional cannabis dispensaries across the state.
That includes the 75 licenses that the state's legalization law mandated regulators to issue last year — a process that's been delayed by executive orders from Gov. J.B. Pritzker and legal challenges to his administration's planned pot shop permit lottery — plus 120 new licenses, which would be issued via three new lotteries.
