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.
(720 ILCS 550/11) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 711)
Sec. 11.
(a) The Department, with the written approval of the
Illinois State Police, may authorize the possession,
production,
manufacture and delivery of substances containing cannabis by persons
engaged in research and when such authorization is requested by a
physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, such
authorization shall issue without unnecessary delay where the Department
finds that such physician licensed to practice medicine in all its
branches has certified that such possession, production, manufacture or
delivery of such substance is necessary for the treatment of glaucoma,
the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy in cancer patients or such other
procedure certified to be medically necessary; such authorization shall
be, upon such terms and conditions as may be consistent with the public
health and safety. To the extent of the applicable authorization,
persons are exempt from prosecution in this State for possession,
production, manufacture or delivery of cannabis.
(b) Persons registered under Federal law to conduct research with
cannabis may conduct research with cannabis including, but not limited
to treatment by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its
branches for glaucoma, the side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy
in cancer
patients or such other procedure which is medically necessary within
this State upon furnishing evidence of that Federal registration and
notification of the scope and purpose of such research to the Department
and to the Illinois State Police of that Federal
registration.
(c) Persons authorized to engage in research may be authorized by
the Department to protect the privacy of individuals who are the
subjects of such research by withholding from all persons not connected
with the conduct of the research the names and other identifying
characteristics of such individuals. Persons who are given this
authorization shall not be compelled in any civil, criminal,
administrative, legislative or other proceeding to identify the
individuals who are the subjects of research for which the authorization
was granted, except to the extent necessary to permit the Department to
determine whether the research is being conducted in accordance with the
authorization.
