    Applies only to the six plaintiffs in ILHAA v. Raoul (N.D. Ill. No. 1:26-cv-13799), among them the Illinois Healthy Alternatives Association and its roughly 250 member companies. The state agreed not to take any enforcement action under the Hemp Act against them until Nov 19, when a federal judge hears their request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. The law itself still takes effect Nov 12, and it applies to every other business from that date.
