At issue is a bill that would allow craft growers to nearly triple the size of their footprint from 5,000 square feet to 14,000 square feet, according to a report by Grown In, an industry newsletter.
The Cannabis Business Association of Illinois formally decided at a board meeting last week to oppose the legislation, SB3105, according to Grown In.
The association is dominated by MSOs such as Illinois-based Cresco Labs, PharmaCann and Verano Holdings, Grown In reported.
In a written statement to Grown In, the trade association maintained that Illinois “should pause to properly assess where our industry stands rather than attempt to make incremental changes to an evolving industry.”
But the association also said it will continue to support industry inclusion and diversity.
