Will County Ad Hoc Cannabis Revenue Review Committee Meeting August 11, 2026

The Will County Ad Hoc Cannabis Revenue Review Committee met on August 11, 2026, to discuss the allocation and disbursement parameters for cannabis tax revenues collected under the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act. The committee reviewed the existing 2019 resolution establishing the cannabis fund and debated the creation of a formal policy to guide funding decisions, including defining "pillars" or priority areas for revenue allocation. Legal concerns were raised regarding the potential transition of the ad hoc committee to a standing committee, with the county attorney reviewing the proposed policy document for compliance with county rules. The committee agreed to continue refining the policy and to schedule a follow-up meeting to finalize guidelines ahead of the upcoming budget cycle, emphasizing the need for clear procedures and reporting requirements for cannabis fund disbursements. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting.
