2021 continued to be an extraordinarily challenging year for many sectors within the liquor industry. Since March of 2020, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) has issued a series of temporary directives to provide swift regulatory and financial relief to all licensees during these difficult times. Whether it be extension of license renewals, temporary suspension of the delinquency list, or increased delivery options, we have remained fully committed to collaboration with industry associations, local liquor commissions, law enforcement, local health departments, and licensees to ensure that we navigate the industry back to full health. The number of Licensees has began to increase and coincide with the growth that the agency began to see in 2018 and 2019.
