Attention Illinois Residents!!
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Illinois state Senate is expected to take up state Sen. William Haine’s proposal to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes sometime [today].
As always, things could change. But the latest we’ve heard from Haine, an Alton Democrat, is that he plans to call the bill [today].
Many remain uncertain whether the bill will actually pass, but lawmakers tend to call their bills for a vote when they have enough “aye” votes in the bag.
Thirteen other states have authorized marijuana for some level of medicinal use. If the Senate votes on Haine’s bill tomorrow, it will be the farthest a marijuana proposal has gotten in Illinois.
