Save Illinois Hemp

Protect Jobs.

Protect Small Businesses.

Fix SB 3222. Support a Trailer Bill.

What Happened?

SB 3222 is Now Law

SB 3222 (now Public Act 104-0463) was signed into law and will take effect on November 12, 2026.

The law creates the Illinois Hemp Act, repeals the Industrial Hemp Act, and changes how many hemp-derived cannabinoid products are regulated in Illinois. Supporters say the law improves consumer safety and youth protections. Many hemp businesses believe the law's 0.4 mg total THC-per-container limit will remove most federally lawful hemp products from the traditional hemp marketplace, putting thousands of jobs and more than 1,000 Illinois businesses at risk.

Why a Trailer Bill is Needed

Illinois Doesn't Need a Ban. Illinois Needs a Better Law.

We support the consumer safety provisions of Public Act 104-0463, including:

  • Keep hemp sales limited to adults 21+
  • Require ID verification
  • Require independent laboratory testing
  • Require child-resistant packaging
  • Require accurate labeling
  • License retailers and manufacturers
  • Enforce violations against bad actors

We ask the General Assembly to fix one critical provision by replacing the 0.4 mg total THC-per-container limit with a reasonable standard that protects consumers while allowing federally lawful hemp products to remain available through licensed hemp businesses.

Regulate. Don't Eliminate.
