Steer clear of state audit errors + costly penalties
All the laws, legal parameters, and professional regulations for the cannabis industry in Illinois can seem daunting and confusing, but they can’t be ignored if you want to operate and expand your company on good terms.
Understand the Illinois Training Mandates for Cannabis Businesses
On June 25, 2019, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 410 ILCS 705, the Cannabis Regulation and Taxation Act, which requires that all recreational and medical cannabis employers in Illinois provide Responsible Vendor Training training to all employees.
Our training courses are designed by industry experts to meet the latest Illinois statewide requirements provided by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR Emergency Rule updated July 15, 2021).
Common IL RVT guidelines to keep everything in check
Who needs Responsible Vendor Training?
The only agents that are required to receive the Responsible Vendor Training are those involved in the handling or sale of cannabis or cannabis-infused products. However, all agents, including all Principal Officers, must meet the 8-hour training requirement found in Section 15-65(a)(5) of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.
When do employees need Responsible Vendor Training?
RVT must be received within 90 days after the first day of employment at a dispensary. Training received outside of the 90-day window will not meet the training requirement imposed by Section 15-40(i) of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.
