(720 ILCS 570/100) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1100) Sec. 100. Legislative intent. It is the intent of the General Assembly, recognizing the rising incidence in the misuse of drugs and other dangerous substances and its resultant damage to the peace, health, and welfare of the citizens of Illinois, to provide a system of control over the distribution and use of controlled substances which will more effectively: (1) limit access of such substances only to those persons who have demonstrated an appropriate sense of responsibility and have a lawful and legitimate reason to possess them; (2) deter the unlawful and destructive misuse of controlled substances; (3) penalize most heavily the illicit traffickers or profiteers of controlled substances, who propagate and perpetuate the misuse of such substances with reckless disregard for its consumptive consequences upon every element of society; (4) acknowledge the functional and consequential differences between the various types of controlled substances and provide for correspondingly different degrees of control over each of the various types; (5) unify where feasible and codify the efforts of this State to conform with the regulatory systems of the Federal government; and (6) provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary resources to make this system efficacious. It is not the intent of the General Assembly to treat the unlawful user or occasional petty distributor of controlled substances with the same severity as the large-scale, unlawful purveyors and traffickers of controlled substances. However, it is recognized that persons who violate this Act with respect to the manufacture, delivery, possession with intent to deliver, or possession of more than one type of controlled substance listed herein may accordingly receive multiple convictions and sentences under each Section of this Act. To this end, guidelines have been provided, along with a wide latitude in sentencing discretion, to enable the sentencing court to order penalties in each case which are appropriate for the purposes of this Act.

Sec. 303.1.
Any person who delivers a check or other payment to the
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation that is returned to the Department
unpaid by the financial institution upon which it is drawn shall pay to the
Department,
in addition to the amount already owed to the Department, a fine of $50. If
the check or other payment was for a renewal or issuance fee and that person
practices without
paying the renewal fee or issuance fee and the fine due, an additional fine
of $100 shall be imposed. The fines imposed by this Section are in addition
to any other discipline provided under this Act for unlicensed
practice or practice on a nonrenewed license. The Department
of Financial and Professional Regulation shall notify the person that payment of fees
and fines shall be paid to the Department
by certified check or money order within 30 calendar days of the
notification. If, after the expiration of 30 days from the date of the
notification, the person has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall automatically terminate the
license or certificate or deny
the application, without hearing. If, after termination or denial, the
person seeks a license or certificate, he or she shall apply to the
Department for restoration or issuance of the license or certificate and
pay all fees and fines due to the Department. The Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation may establish
a fee for the processing of an application for restoration of a license or
certificate to pay all expenses of processing this application. The Secretary
may waive the fines due under this Section in individual cases where the Secretary of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
finds that the fines would be unreasonable or unnecessarily
burdensome.

(720 ILCS 570/305) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1305)
Sec. 305.
(a) Before denying, refusing renewal of, suspending, or revoking a
registration, or imposing a fine on an applicant or registrant, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation shall serve upon
the applicant or registrant, by registered mail at the address in the
application or registration or by any other means authorized under the
Civil Practice Law or Rules of the Illinois Supreme Court for the service
of summons or subpoenas, a notice of hearing to determine why registration
should not be denied, refused renewal, suspended or revoked. The notice
shall contain a statement of the basis therefor and shall call upon the
applicant or registrant to appear before the Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation at a reasonable time and place. These proceedings shall be
conducted in accordance with Sections 2105-5, 2105-15, 2105-100, 2105-105,
2105-110,
2105-115, 2105-120, 2105-125, 2105-175, and 2105-325

2105/2105-120,
2105/2105-125, 2105/2105-175, and 2105/2105-325),
without
regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding. Except as
authorized in subsection (c), proceedings to refuse renewal or
suspend or
revoke registration shall not abate the existing registration, which shall
remain in effect until the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has
held the hearing called for in the notice and found, with input from the
appropriate licensure or disciplinary board, that the registration
shall no longer remain in effect.
(b) The Secretary of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may appoint an attorney duly
licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois to serve as the hearing
officer in any action to deny, refuse to renew, suspend, or revoke, or take any
other disciplinary action with regard to a registration. The hearing officer
shall have full authority to conduct the hearing. The hearing officer shall
report his or her findings and recommendations to the appropriate licensure or
disciplinary board within 30 days after receiving the record. The
Disciplinary Board shall have 60 days from receipt of the report to review the
report of the hearing officer and present its findings of fact, conclusions
of law, and recommendations to the Secretary of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
(c) If the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation finds that
there is
an imminent danger to the public health or safety by the continued
manufacture, distribution or dispensing of controlled substances by the
registrant, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation may, upon the
issuance of a written ruling stating the reasons for such finding and
without notice or hearing, suspend such registrant. The suspension shall
continue in effect for not more than 15 days during which time the
registrant shall be given a hearing on the issues involved in the
suspension. If after the hearing, and after
input from the appropriate licensure or disciplinary board,
the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
finds that the public health
or safety requires the suspension to remain in effect it shall so remain
until the ruling is terminated by its own terms or subsequent ruling or is
dissolved by a circuit court upon determination that the
suspension was wholly without basis in fact and law.
(d) If, after a hearing as provided in subsection (a), the
Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation
finds that a registration should be refused
renewal, suspended or revoked, a written ruling to that effect shall be
entered. The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's ruling shall remain
in effect until the ruling is terminated by its own terms or subsequent
ruling or is dissolved by a circuit court upon a determination that the
refusal to renew suspension or revocation was wholly without basis in fact and
law.

(720 ILCS 570/309) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1309)
Sec. 309. On or after April 1, 2000, no person shall issue a
prescription for a Schedule II
controlled substance, which is a narcotic drug listed in Section 206 of
this Act; or which contains any quantity of amphetamine or
methamphetamine, their salts, optical isomers or salts of optical
isomers; phenmetrazine and its salts; gluthethimide; and pentazocine, other than on a written
prescription; provided
that in the case of an emergency, epidemic or a
sudden or unforeseen accident or calamity, the prescriber may issue a
lawful oral prescription where failure to
issue such a prescription might result in
loss of life or intense suffering, but such oral prescription shall
include a statement by the prescriber concerning the accident
or calamity, or circumstances constituting the emergency, the cause for
which an oral prescription was used. Within
7 days after issuing an
emergency prescription, the prescriber shall cause a written prescription for
the emergency quantity prescribed to be delivered to
the dispensing pharmacist. The prescription shall have written on its face
"Authorization for Emergency Dispensing", and the date of the emergency
prescription. The written prescription
may be delivered to the pharmacist in person, or by mail, but if delivered
by mail it must be postmarked within the 7-day period. Upon
receipt, the
dispensing pharmacist shall attach this prescription to the emergency oral
prescription earlier received and
reduced to writing. The dispensing pharmacist shall notify the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation
if the prescriber
fails to deliver the authorization for emergency dispensing on the
prescription to him or her. Failure of the dispensing pharmacist to do so
shall void the authority conferred by this paragraph to dispense without a
written prescription of a
prescriber. All prescriptions issued for Schedule II
controlled substances shall include the quantity prescribed. All nonelectronic prescriptions issued for Schedule II controlled substances
shall include both a written and numerical notation of quantity on the face
of the prescription. No prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance
may
be refilled. The Department shall provide, at no cost, audit reviews and necessary information to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation in conjunction with ongoing investigations being conducted in whole or part by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

Prescriptions sent in accordance with this subsection (a) must be accepted by the dispenser in electronic format. (b) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly until December 31, 2028, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or any other provision of law, a prescriber shall not be required to issue prescriptions electronically if he or she certifies to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation that he or she will not issue more than 150 prescriptions during a 12-month period. Prescriptions in both oral and written form for controlled substances shall be included in determining whether the prescriber will reach the limit of 150 prescriptions. Beginning January 1, 2029, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or any other provision of law, a prescriber shall not be required to issue prescriptions electronically if he or she certifies to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation that he or she will not issue more than 50 prescriptions during a 12-month period. Prescriptions in both oral and written form for controlled substances shall be included in determining whether the prescriber will reach the limit of 50 prescriptions.

(e) Any pharmacist who dispenses in good faith based upon a valid prescription that is not prescribed electronically may be exempt from any disciplinary action. A pharmacist is not required to ensure or responsible for ensuring the prescriber's compliance under subsection (b), nor may any other entity or organization require a pharmacist to ensure the prescriber's compliance with that subsection. A pharmacist may not refuse to fill a valid prescription solely because it is not prescribed electronically.

(a) A practitioner, in good faith, may dispense a Schedule II controlled substance, which is a narcotic drug listed in Section 206 of this Act; or which contains any quantity of amphetamine or methamphetamine, their salts, optical isomers or salts of optical isomers; phenmetrazine and its salts; or pentazocine; and Schedule III, IV, or V controlled substances to any person upon a written or electronic prescription of any prescriber, dated and signed by the person prescribing (or electronically validated in compliance with Section 311.5) on the day when issued and bearing the name and address of the patient for whom, or the owner of the animal for which the controlled substance is dispensed, and the full name, address and registry number under the laws of the United States relating to controlled substances of the prescriber, if he or she is required by those laws to be registered. If the prescription is for an animal it shall state the species of animal for which it is ordered. The practitioner filling the prescription shall, unless otherwise permitted, write the date of filling and his or her own signature on the face of the written prescription or, alternatively, shall indicate such filling using a unique identifier as defined in paragraph (v) of Section 3 of the Pharmacy Practice Act. The written prescription shall be retained on file by the practitioner who filled it or pharmacy in which the prescription was filled for a period of 2 years, so as to be readily accessible for inspection or removal by any officer or employee engaged in the enforcement of this Act. Whenever the practitioner's or pharmacy's copy of any prescription is removed by an officer or employee engaged in the enforcement of this Act, for the purpose of investigation or as evidence, such officer or employee shall give to the practitioner or pharmacy a receipt in lieu thereof. If the specific prescription is machine or computer generated and printed at the prescriber's office, the date does not need to be handwritten. A prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance shall not be issued for more than a 30 day supply, except as provided in subsection (a-5), and shall be valid for up to 90 days after the date of issuance.

(b) In lieu of a written prescription required by this Section, a pharmacist, in good faith, may dispense Schedule III, IV, or V substances to any person either upon receiving a facsimile of a written, signed prescription transmitted by the prescriber or the prescriber's agent or upon a lawful oral prescription of a prescriber which oral prescription shall be reduced promptly to writing by the pharmacist and such written memorandum thereof shall be dated on the day when such oral prescription is received by the pharmacist and shall bear the full name and address of the ultimate user for whom, or of the owner of the animal for which the controlled substance is dispensed, and the full name, address, and registry number under the law of the United States relating to controlled substances of the prescriber prescribing if he or she is required by those laws to be so registered, and the pharmacist filling such oral prescription shall write the date of filling and his or her own signature on the face of such written memorandum thereof. The facsimile copy of the prescription or written memorandum of the oral prescription shall be retained on file by the proprietor of the pharmacy in which it is filled for a period of not less than two years, so as to be readily accessible for inspection by any officer or employee engaged in the enforcement of this Act in the same manner as a written prescription. The facsimile copy of the prescription or oral prescription and the written memorandum thereof shall not be filled or refilled more than 6 months after the date thereof or be refilled more than 5 times, unless renewed, in writing, by the prescriber. (c) Except for any non-prescription targeted methamphetamine precursor regulated by the Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act, a controlled substance included in Schedule V shall not be distributed or dispensed other than for a medical purpose and not for the purpose of evading this Act, and then: (1) only personally by a person registered to | ||

The dispenser shall record the name and address of the purchaser, the name and quantity of the product, the date and time of the sale, and the dispenser's signature. No person shall purchase or be dispensed more than 120 milliliters or more than 120 grams of any Schedule V substance which contains codeine, dihydrocodeine, or any salts thereof, or ethylmorphine, or any salts thereof, in any 96-hour period. The purchaser shall sign a form, approved by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, attesting that he or she has not purchased any Schedule V controlled substances within the immediately preceding 96 hours. All records of purchases and sales shall be maintained for not less than 2 years. No person shall obtain or attempt to obtain within any consecutive 96-hour period any Schedule V substances of more than 120 milliliters or more than 120 grams containing codeine, dihydrocodeine or any of its salts, or ethylmorphine or any of its salts. Any person obtaining any such preparations or combination of preparations in excess of this limitation shall be in unlawful possession of such controlled substance. A person qualified to dispense controlled substances under this Act and registered thereunder shall at no time maintain or keep in stock a quantity of Schedule V controlled substances in excess of 4.5 liters for each substance; a pharmacy shall at no time maintain or keep in stock a quantity of Schedule V controlled substances as defined in excess of 4.5 liters for each substance, plus the additional quantity of controlled substances necessary to fill the largest number of prescription orders filled by that pharmacy for such controlled substances in any one week in the previous year. These limitations shall not apply to Schedule V controlled substances which Federal law prohibits from being dispensed without a prescription. No person shall distribute or dispense butyl nitrite for inhalation or other introduction into the human body for euphoric or physical effect. (d) Every practitioner shall keep a record or log of controlled substances received by him or her and a record of all such controlled substances administered, dispensed or professionally used by him or her otherwise than by prescription. It shall, however, be sufficient compliance with this paragraph if any practitioner utilizing controlled substances listed in Schedules III, IV and V shall keep a record of all those substances dispensed and distributed by him or her other than those controlled substances which are administered by the direct application of a controlled substance, whether by injection, inhalation, ingestion, or any other means to the body of a patient or research subject. A practitioner who dispenses, other than by administering, a controlled substance in Schedule II, which is a narcotic drug listed in Section 206 of this Act, or which contains any quantity of amphetamine or methamphetamine, their salts, optical isomers or salts of optical isomers, pentazocine, or methaqualone shall do so only upon the issuance of a written prescription blank or electronic prescription issued by a prescriber. (e) Whenever a manufacturer distributes a controlled substance in a package prepared by him or her, and whenever a wholesale distributor distributes a controlled substance in a package prepared by him or her or the manufacturer, he or she shall securely affix to each package in which that substance is contained a label showing in legible English the name and address of the manufacturer, the distributor and the quantity, kind and form of controlled substance contained therein. No person except a pharmacist and only for the purposes of filling a prescription under this Act, shall alter, deface or remove any label so affixed. (f) Whenever a practitioner dispenses any controlled substance except a non-prescription Schedule V product or a non-prescription targeted methamphetamine precursor regulated by the Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act, he or she shall affix to the container in which such substance is sold or dispensed, a label indicating the date of initial filling, the practitioner's name and address, the name of the patient, the name of the prescriber, the directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in any prescription or required by law, the proprietary name or names or the established name of the controlled substance, and the dosage and quantity, except as otherwise authorized by regulation by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. No person shall alter, deface or remove any label so affixed as long as the specific medication remains in the container. (g) A person to whom or for whose use any controlled substance has been prescribed or dispensed by a practitioner, or other persons authorized under this Act, and the owner of any animal for which such substance has been prescribed or dispensed by a veterinarian, may lawfully possess such substance only in the container in which it was delivered to him or her by the person dispensing such substance. (h) The responsibility for the proper prescribing or dispensing of controlled substances that are under the prescriber's direct control is upon the prescriber. The responsibility for the proper filling of a prescription for controlled substance drugs rests with the pharmacist. An order purporting to be a prescription issued to any individual, which is not in the regular course of professional treatment nor part of an authorized methadone maintenance program, nor in legitimate and authorized research instituted by any accredited hospital, educational institution, charitable foundation, or federal, state or local governmental agency, and which is intended to provide that individual with controlled substances sufficient to maintain that individual's or any other individual's, habitual or customary use, dependence, or diversion of that controlled substance is not a prescription within the meaning and intent of this Act; and the person issuing it, shall be subject to the penalties provided for violations of the law relating to controlled substances. (i) A prescriber shall not pre-print or cause to be pre-printed a prescription for any controlled substance; nor shall any practitioner issue, fill or cause to be issued or filled, a pre-printed prescription for any controlled substance. (i-5) A prescriber may use a machine or electronic device to individually generate a printed prescription, but the prescriber is still required to affix his or her manual signature. (j) No person shall manufacture, dispense, deliver, possess with intent to deliver, prescribe, or administer or cause to be administered under his or her direction any anabolic steroid, for any use in humans other than the treatment of disease in accordance with the order of a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches for a valid medical purpose in the course of professional practice. The use of anabolic steroids for the purpose of hormonal manipulation that is intended to increase muscle mass, strength or weight without a medical necessity to do so, or for the intended purpose of improving physical appearance or performance in any form of exercise, sport, or game, is not a valid medical purpose or in the course of professional practice. (k) Controlled substances may be mailed if all of the following conditions are met: (1) The controlled substances are not outwardly | ||

(720 ILCS 570/313) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1313) Sec. 313. (a) Controlled substances which are lawfully administered in hospitals or institutions licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act shall be exempt from the requirements of Sections 312, 315.6, and 316, except that the prescription for the controlled substance shall be in writing on the patient's record, signed by the prescriber, and dated, and shall state the name and quantity of controlled substances ordered and the quantity actually administered. The records of such prescriptions shall be maintained for two years and shall be available for inspection by officers and employees of the Illinois State Police and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The exemption under this subsection (a) does not apply to a prescription (including an outpatient prescription from an emergency department or outpatient clinic) for more than a 72-hour supply of a discharge medication to be consumed outside of the hospital or institution. (b) Controlled substances that can lawfully be administered or dispensed directly to a patient in a long-term care facility licensed by the Department of Public Health as a skilled nursing facility, intermediate care facility, or long-term care facility for residents under 22 years of age, are exempt from the requirements of Section 312 except that a prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance must be either a prescription signed by the prescriber or a prescription transmitted by the prescriber or prescriber's agent to the dispensing pharmacy by facsimile. The facsimile serves as the original prescription and must be maintained for 2 years from the date of issue in the same manner as a written prescription signed by the prescriber. (c) A prescription that is generated for a Schedule II controlled substance to be compounded for direct administration to a patient in a private residence, long-term care facility, or hospice program may be transmitted by facsimile by the prescriber or the prescriber's agent to the pharmacy providing the home infusion services. The facsimile serves as the original prescription for purposes of this paragraph (c) and it shall be maintained in the same manner as the original prescription. (c-1) A prescription generated for a Schedule II controlled substance for a patient residing in a hospice certified by Medicare under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act or licensed by the State may be transmitted by the practitioner or the practitioner's agent to the dispensing pharmacy by facsimile or electronically as provided in Section 311.5. The practitioner or practitioner's agent must note on the prescription that the patient is a hospice patient.

I or II. Examples of chemical classes in which controlled substance analogs
are found include, but are not limited to, the following: phenethylamines,
N-substituted piperidines, morphinans, ecgonines, quinazolinones, substituted

(720 ILCS 570/502) (from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 1502)
Sec. 502.
(a) Issuance and execution of administrative inspection warrants shall
be as follows:
(1) a judge of a circuit court upon proper
oath or affirmation showing probable cause, may issue warrants for the
purpose of conducting administrative inspections authorized by this Act or
rules hereunder, and seizures of property appropriate to the inspections.
For purposes of the issuance of administrative inspection warrants,
probable cause exists upon showing a valid public interest in the effective
enforcement of this Act or rules hereunder, sufficient to justify
administrative inspection of the controlled premises, as defined in
subsection (b), specified in the application for the warrant.
(2) an inspection warrant shall issue only upon an affidavit of any
person having knowledge of the facts alleged, sworn to before the circuit
judge and establishing the grounds for issuing the inspection warrant. If
the circuit judge is satisfied that there is probable cause to believe that
grounds for issuance of an inspection warrant exist, he shall issue an
inspection warrant identifying the controlled premises to be inspected, the
purpose of the inspection, and, if appropriate, the type of property to be
inspected or seized, if any. The inspection warrant shall:
(i) state the ground for its issuance and the name of each person whose
affidavit has been taken in support thereof;
(ii) be directed to a person authorized by Section 501 to execute it;
(iii) command the person to whom it is directed to inspect the
controlled premises identified for the purpose specified and, if
appropriate, direct the seizure of the property specified;
(iv) identify the item or types of property to be seized, if any;
(v) direct that it be served at any time of the day or night and
designate the circuit court judge to whom it shall be returned.
(3) an inspection warrant issued pursuant to this Section must be
executed and returned within 10 days of its date of issuance unless, upon a
showing of a need for additional time, the court which issued the
inspection warrant orders otherwise. If property is seized pursuant to an
inspection warrant, a copy of the inventory of such seized property shall
be given to the person from whom or from whose controlled premises the
property is taken. If no person is available, the inspection warrant and a
copy of the inventory shall be left at such controlled premises. The
inventory shall be made under oath by the person executing the warrant.
(4) an inspection warrant shall be returnable before the judge of the
circuit court who issued the inspection warrant or any judge named in the
inspection warrant or before the circuit court. The judge
before whom the return is made shall attach to the inspection warrant a
copy of the return and all papers returnable in connection therewith and
file them with the clerk of the circuit court in which the inspection
warrant was executed.
(5) no warrant shall be quashed nor evidence suppressed because of
technical irregularities not affecting the substantial rights of the person
responsible for the controlled premises.
(b) The Director may make inspections of controlled premises in
accordance with the following provisions:
(1) For purposes of this Section only, "controlled premises" means:
(i) places where persons registered or exempted from registration
requirements under this Act keep records required under this Act; and
(ii) places, including but not limited to, areas, buildings, premises,
factories, warehouses, establishments and conveyances in which persons
registered or exempted from registration requirements under this Act are
permitted to possess, manufacture, distribute, dispense, administer, or
otherwise dispose of any controlled substance.
(2) When authorized by an inspection warrant issued pursuant to this
Act, any agent designated by the Director or any peace officer, upon
presenting the inspection warrant to the person designated in the
inspection warrant or any other person on the controlled premises, may
enter controlled premises for the purpose of conducting the inspection.
(3) When authorized by an inspection warrant any agent designated by the
Director may execute the inspection warrant in accordance with its terms.
(4) This section does not prevent the inspection without a warrant of
books and records pursuant to an administrative subpoena issued in
accordance with "The Civil Administrative Code of Illinois," nor does it
prevent entries and administrative inspections, including seizures of
property, without a warrant:
(i) if the person in charge of the controlled premises consents; or
(ii) in situations presenting imminent danger to health or safety; or
(iii) in situations involving inspection of conveyances if there is
reasonable cause to believe that the mobility of the conveyance makes it
impracticable to obtain a warrant; or
(iv) in any other exceptional or emergency circumstance where time or
opportunity to apply for a warrant is lacking.
(5) An inspection warrant authorized by this Section shall not extend to
financial data, sales data, other than shipment data, or pricing data
unless the person in charge of the controlled premises consents in writing,
provided, however, that records required to be kept under this Act are not
included in such financial data, sales data or pricing data.

All rulings, final determinations, findings, and conclusions of
the Illinois State Police, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, and
the Department of Human Services under this Act are
final and
conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any person aggrieved by the
decision may obtain review of the decision pursuant to the provisions of

and rulings of the Department shall remain in full force and effect unless

of the evidence that good cause exists therefor. In determining good cause,
the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a substantial
likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that granting the stay will not
have an injurious effect on the general public. Good cause shall not be
established solely on the basis of hardships resulting from an inability
to engage in the registered activity pending a final judicial decision.

with respect to the offenses enumerated in this subsection (a) and must maintain sufficient documentation to locate that evidence. Excess quantities with respect to the offenses enumerated in this subsection (a) cannot practicably be retained by a law enforcement agency because of its size, bulk, and physical character. (b) The sheriff or seizing law enforcement agency must file a motion requesting destruction of bulk evidence before the trial judge in the courtroom where the criminal charge is pending. The sheriff or seizing law enforcement agency must give notice of the motion requesting destruction of bulk evidence to the prosecutor of the criminal charge and the defense attorney of record. The trial judge will conduct an evidentiary hearing in which all parties will be given the opportunity to present evidence and arguments relating to whether the evidence should be destroyed, whether such destruction will prejudice the prosecution of the criminal case, and whether the destruction of the evidence will prejudice the defense of the criminal charge. The court's determination whether to grant the motion for destruction of bulk evidence must be based upon the totality of all of the circumstances of the case presented at the evidentiary hearing, the effect such destruction would have upon the defendant's constitutional rights, and the prosecutor's ability to proceed with the prosecution of the criminal charge. (c) The court may, before trial, transfer excess quantities of any substance containing any of the controlled substances enumerated in subsection (a) with respect to a prosecution for any offense enumerated in subsection (a) to the sheriff of the county, or may, in its discretion, transfer such evidence to the Illinois State Police, for destruction after notice is given to the defendant's attorney of record or to the defendant if the defendant is proceeding pro se. (d) After a judgment of conviction is entered and the charged quantity is no longer needed for evidentiary purposes with respect to a prosecution for any offense enumerated in subsection (a), the court may transfer any substance containing any of the controlled substances enumerated in subsection (a) to the sheriff of the county, or may, in its discretion, transfer such evidence to the Illinois State Police, for destruction after notice is given to the defendant's attorney of record or to the defendant if the defendant is proceeding pro se. No evidence shall be disposed of until 30 days after the judgment is entered, and if a notice of appeal is filed, no evidence shall be disposed of until the mandate has been received by the circuit court from the Appellate Court.
