Pritzker Signs Bill Geared Toward More Oversight, Equity In Cannabis Industry In Illinois

Jul 9, 2026 | Great Lakes Region

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Thursday celebrated new laws with a goal to create more equity and oversight in the cannabis industry.

Pritzker held a ceremonial bill signing on Thursday at SWAY Cannabis Dispensary, 3340 N. Halsted St.

SB 3222 prohibits the sale of intoxicating hemp products such as Delta-8, THC-P, and HHC to minors. These products have been sold outside Illinois’ regulated adult-use cannabis market, and have often been marketed in packaging designed to appeal to children or misrepresent their contents, according to the Governor’s office.
