House bill 218 Passed The Illinois State Congress

Governor Rauner's approval is all that's needed.

This bill would decriminalize Marijuana State wide.

Governor Rauner needs to know the residents of Illinois support this bill and want an end to senseless marijuana laws. Let's reduce prison populations, reduce spending, and reduce undue harm to our state's residents.

Tell Governor Rauner to Pass House Bill 218!
