Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (a) Before a dispensing organization agent dispenses cannabis to a purchaser, the agent shall:
        (1) Verify the age of the purchaser by checking a
    
government-issued identification card by use of an electronic reader or electronic scanning device to scan a purchaser's government-issued identification, if applicable, to determine the purchaser's age and the validity of the identification;
        (2) Verify the validity of the government-issued
    
identification card by use of an electronic reader or electronic scanning device to scan a purchaser's government-issued identification, if applicable, to determine the purchaser's age and the validity of the identification;
        (3) Offer any appropriate purchaser education or
    
support materials;
        (4) Enter the following information into the State's
    
cannabis electronic verification system:
            (i) The dispensing organization agent's
        
identification number, or if the agent's card application is pending the Department's approval, a temporary and unique identifier until the agent's card application is approved or denied by the Department;
            (ii) The dispensing organization's identification
        
number;
            (iii) The amount, type (including strain, if
        
applicable) of cannabis or cannabis-infused product dispensed;
            (iv) The date and time the cannabis was dispensed.
    (b) A dispensing organization shall refuse to sell cannabis or cannabis-infused products to any person unless the person produces a valid identification showing that the person is 21 years of age or older. A medical cannabis dispensing organization may sell cannabis or cannabis-infused products to a person who is under 21 years of age if the sale complies with the provisions of the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act and rules.
    (c) For the purposes of this Section, valid identification must:

        (2) Contain a photograph and the date of birth of the
