The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to prohibit the sale or consumption of nitrous oxide on premises where over 50% of gross revenues are derived from the sale of alcoholic liquor, tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, or alternative nicotine products. Violations of this provision are classified as a Class 3 felony. However, the bill exempts from this prohibition the sale or consumption of food items containing nitrous oxide. Additionally, it defines relevant terms such as "alcoholic liquor" and "tobacco product" as per existing statutes.

Bills in Illinois follow a multi-step legislative process, beginning with introduction in either the House or Senate, followed by committee review, floor debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly operates on a biennial schedule, and while typically thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a fraction successfully pass through the process to become law.
