IL SB3116

Requires Department of Agriculture inspectors to obtain consent from the beekeeper or landowner before entering property to inspect apiaries, amending the current right of entry provisions

Mandates that anyone selling bees or used beekeeping equipment must first obtain a permit based on a Department of Agriculture inspection certificate

Creates an annual health inspection certificate option for commercial beekeeping operations, valid for one year, allowing transport of hives for pollination, honey production, or bee sales without obtaining individual permits for each movement

Removes the existing prohibition on transporting bee colonies or used equipment between Illinois counties without a permit, replacing it with requirements focused specifically on sales rather than general movement

Directs the Department to adopt rules requiring out-of-state bees brought into Illinois for pollination or resale to have health certificates from their origin state, or obtain Illinois inspection within 30 days
