(Springfield, IL) — The Illinois Supreme Court has established rules for the state’s new law decriminalizing marijuana possession. The legislation Governor Rauner signed this summer left it up to to court to set the fines and other specifics to be used by law enforcement and the courts. The Supreme Court set the fine for those caught with less than ten grams of pot or drug paraphernalia at 120-dollars and also allowed county court clerks to expunge a record after a cannabis violation is resolved. The court’s rules also allow clerks to protect the confidentiality of offenders younger than 18.
