CHICAGO (AP) A proposed bill would require all CBD products sold in Illinois to meet testing requirements set by the state’s Department of Agriculture. State Rep. Bob Morgan, a Deerfield Democrat, introduced the bill saying the legislation would help ensure that CBD products are safe for use. CBD is a cannabis extract. It doesn’t cause a high and can be used to alleviate anxiety or chronic pain. The products are generally unregulated. Morgan says untested products would be removed from shelves. Non-compliance fines would start at $1,000.
