(Cassidy, D-Chicago) provides that the possession of 10 grams or less of cannabis is a civil law violation punishable by a minimum fine of $100 and a maximum fine of $200. It doesn’t invalidate or affect any ordinance enacted by any municipality or unit of local government that imposes a fine upon cannabis other than as defined in this Act. Amends Illinois Vehicle Code to provide that a person may not drive or be in actual physical control of any vehicle, snowmobile, or watercraft if the person has, within two hours of driving, a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration in his or her whole blood or other bodily substance of five nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other bodily substance from the unlawful consumption of cannabis. Current law imposes per se liability for having any amount in your blood or bodily substance. Just introduced.
