SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS (May 29, 2019) — “While the Chamber remains skeptical on whether recreational cannabis is the right direction for Illinois, we recognize that this may become law, and have been engaged in a very constructive discussion with the sponsors of the legislation and the administration for the last several months," said Illinois Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Todd Maisch.

"We believe that through vigilant dialogue we have secured the strongest workplace protections of any state in the nation. We will continue to be active and engaged in any future conversations that are likely to occur to help shape the issue between passage and implementation on behalf of all Illinois workplaces. "
