Concealed Carry, Marijuana Laws Raise Questions For Employers
Two relatively new Illinois laws may cause unexpected headaches for businesses, but The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce has scheduled a seminar intended to help ease the pain.
The state's concealed carry gun law is already more than a year old, but its medical marijuana pilot program is just getting started.
Attorneys with the statewide law firm Heyl Royster last year started presenting seminars on concealed carry and how it could affect both employers and employees.
Chrissie Peterson of Heyl Royster's Peoria office said businesses have reacted responsibly to the concealed carry law and have placed the appropriate signs on their doors if they don't want to allow guns.
"Where you have problems is when a building owner is of one opinion and the person who leases from them is of another," she said. "The law is that the property owner gets to make the decision."
Peterson, Brian Smith of Heyl Royster's Urbana office, and Theresa Powell, managing partner of its Springfield office, will make up the panel for a two-hour discussion June 24 on "Concealed Carry, Medical Marijuana: What you Need to Know."
