SPRINGFIELD—In an effort to improve the allocation of alcohol beverage compliance resources, the State of Illinois and the City of Collinsville have recently joined forces to launch the Collinsville Liquor Inspection Pilot Program. Under the agreement, Collinsville Code Inspectors, Fire and Police Departments have begun carrying out Standard Liquor Inspections for all Collinsville license holders on behalf of the State of Illinois. Utilizing existing State resources, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) is providing financial assistance and training for designated local inspectors.
The City of Collinsville began conducting inspections of its 57 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.
