    (410 ILCS 130/31 new)
    Sec. 31. Administration to persons with disabilities in
park district programs.
    (a) Definitions. For purposes of this Section:
        (1) "Park district" has the meaning as defined in
    Section 1-3 of the Park District Code. "Park district"
    includes the Chicago Park District as defined by the
    Chicago Park District Act, any special recreational
    association created by a park district through an
    intergovernmental agreement, and any nonprofit
    organization authorized by the park district or special
    recreational association to administer a program for
    persons with disabilities on its behalf.
        (2) "Program participant" means a person with
    disabilities who is a registered qualifying patient and
    who participates in a summer camp, educational program, or
    other similar program provided by a park district for
    persons with disabilities.
    (b) Subject to the restrictions under subsections (c)
through (f) of this Section, a park district shall authorize a
program participant's parent, guardian, or other designated
caregiver to administer a medical cannabis infused product to
the program participant on the premises of the park district
if both the program participant and the parent, guardian, or
other designated caregiver are cardholders. After
administering the medical cannabis infused product, the
parent, guardian, or other designated caregiver shall remove
the medical cannabis infused product from the premises of the
park district.
    (c) A parent, guardian, or other designated caregiver may
not administer a medical cannabis infused product under this
Section in a manner that, in the opinion of the park district,
would create a disruption to the park district's program or
activity for persons with disabilities or would cause exposure
of the medical cannabis infused product to other program
participants.
    (d) A park district may not discipline a program
participant who is administered a medical cannabis infused
product by a parent, guardian, or other designated caregiver
under this Section and may not deny the program participant's
eligibility to attend the park district's program or activity
for persons with disabilities solely because the program
participant requires the administration of the medical
cannabis infused product.
    (e) Nothing in this Section requires a member of the park
district's staff to administer a medical cannabis infused
product to a program participant.
    (f) A park district may not authorize the use of a medical
cannabis infused product under this Section if the park
district would lose federal funding as a result of the
authorization.
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
