Under the agreement, the Alton Fire Department has begun carrying out Standard Liquor Inspections for all Alton license holders on behalf of the State of Illinois.

The City of Alton began conducting inspections of its 95 license holders upon the completion of ILCC training in March 2017 and will continue through June 30, 2017 when the pilot program concludes. Inspections include areas of local concern, such as health/sanitation, license and insurance verifications, and deceptive practices. Under the terms of the agreement, local officials are required to report their findings to the state commission, which may result in further adjudicative action.
The Alton Pilot Program covers all areas within the City of Alton.
