IL SB1571

Schools, employers, and landlords cannot refuse to enroll, lease to, or penalize registered qualifying patients or designated caregivers solely based on their status, unless compliance would violate federal law or cause loss of federal monetary or licensing benefits.

Registered qualifying patients' authorized cannabis use is treated as equivalent to any other physician-directed medication for medical care purposes, including organ transplants, and cannot disqualify them from needed medical care.

Parents with custody, visitation, or parenting time rights cannot be denied those rights based on conduct allowed under the Act unless their cannabis-related actions created unreasonable danger to a minor's safety, as established by clear and convincing evidence.

Government medical assistance programs, employers, property and casualty insurers, and private health insurers are not required to reimburse costs associated with medical cannabis use.

Property owners are not required to allow registered qualifying patients to use cannabis on or in their property, and landlords may prohibit cannabis smoking on premises.
