Just before lawmakers went on a two-week spring break, the Illinois Senate passed two bills that would work to further decriminalize cannabis use in Illinois.
The bills - Senate Bill 125 and Senate Bill 1886 - would prevent police from searching an individual's vehicle based solely on the smell of cannabis and would allow some individuals on probation to consume cannabis or alcohol.
SB 125 would ensure that the smell of "burnt or raw cannabis in a motor vehicle" cannot alone be probable cause for an individual's vehicle to be searched. After that provision was added, the ACLU of Illinois shifted from supporting the bill to having a neutral stance on it.
