Summary — HB 3293 (104th Gen. Assembly)

Status: In committee upon adjournment (as of 2025-06-28)
Introduced: February 18, 2025 (filed with Clerk Feb 6 and Feb 25 entries appear in docket)
Primary sponsor: Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr.
Citation amended: 410 ILCS 705/1-1 (Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act)

What the bill does (purpose)

Although the bill is titled "Relating to seaport transportation infrastructure resilience" in the provided header, the language of HB 3293 as introduced is not about seaports. The bill makes a technical, non‑substantive correction to the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act by amending Section 1-1 (short title) to remove an accidental duplicated word ("the the").

Specifically, it changes the short title text from:
"This Act may be cited as the the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act."
to:
"This Act may be cited as the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act."

Key provision

  • Amendment to 410 ILCS 705/1-1 (Sec. 1-1, Short title): corrects a typographical error in the statute's short title. No other text, definitions, regulatory requirements, taxes, penalties, or implementation provisions are altered.

Who/what is affected

  • No substantive change to law or regulatory regime. The correction is clerical only.
  • There should be no material fiscal impact, no change in rights or obligations for individuals, businesses, regulators, or courts.
  • Practical effect: improves textual accuracy of the codified statute.

Legislative status and timeline (from provided docket)

  • Filed with Clerk: entries show Feb 6, 2025 and Feb 25, 2025 (docket contains multiple filing entries).
  • First reading: Feb 18, 2025.
  • Referred to Rules Committee initially, then to State Affairs (Mar 20, 2025).
  • Public hearing: Apr 2, 2025 (testimony taken; bill left pending in committee).
  • Status as of Jun 28, 2025: In committee upon adjournment.

Note: some docket entries (Jan dates referencing Emergency Management, General Government, and Veterans; or Speaker's desk) appear inconsistent with the bill text and may reflect docketing anomalies. Verify the official legislative website for the definitive status.

Notes and recommended actions for readers

  • This introduced version is purely technical and does not change policy. If your interest was in seaport infrastructure (as the header suggests), that appears to be a mismatch between the title and the bill text. Contact the sponsor's office (Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr.) or consult the Illinois General Assembly bill page to confirm whether a different draft or bill number addresses seaport resilience.
