don't need that time certainly you don't need to take it but we would like you to stay within those time limits but for a question we might have pending moment you certainly can share answer all right so we'll begin with mr welch is this is a case a very interesting case of first impression concerning the compassionate use of medical cannabis a pilot program and it's such a case of first impression they have we really don't even know it's research the law can't find anything that tells us whether there is a different standard when legislature passes a pilot program or even why they call this a pilot the appropriate difference wasn't good it is not correct without a doubt your honor in that's one of the main issues we might make in this case and would you please proceed with that one if you look at the trial court we act they gave that to the department of public health because it has experience in determining whether people are medically qualified for things you look at dispensaries dispensary story given to the department of her fashion they administer those set back requirements and if you've ever had one of those cases come through here you understand the full set back requirements are very very important in those cases so they do have experience looking at those things and they have showed that the legislature here did the right thing in signing this to the right department because they do have experience so different should be given to their instance about why that happened i think to answer their question what do you have to do is kind of look at the state of illinois as as kind of a big picture  full where there's farms and there's really no where there's farm land agriculture and those counties usually there is no restriction to warehouse and to be in this case the interpretation of the trial sunday but that is not just did here you know more and again were as a have a seat at the table in this case to explain this but if you look at the statute not only schools  homes transportation services can compromise bus companies here passenger terminals you can buy airport with planes taking off with the noise and with the pollution with the travel  line in our five districts another thing that i don't think people have made much of in this case but this isn't a circumstance where the state of illinois that partner agriculture has forced did this this other facilities are being provided and that the special use will in all respects conform to the political regulations and to manufacture in general zoning classification where say it said the president's residence is we're limited to one story or two stories but if you want to build the three story house or a four story apartment building the ethnic gap especially use in that if you look at the law in relation to this in limiting the instance the legislative intent is so strong that it says you release this information you're guilty of the crime then could make the point and stronger that their intent at least for the pilot program was  between what the state's interest is in this case and confidentiality well indeed because it is an illegal substance it is likely more likely than not that a court will somehow get involved in a case involving this center whether it be its application the its ministration courts the court still work and their confidentiality in the same way apparently and we have to have generally open records unless they come in a document timex propose interpretation of the regulation at issue the circuit court failed to afford it and the deference to the agency's interpretation of its own right here lation let alone the substantial that friends that this court requires second the circuit court's interpretation violates recognize rules of statutory interpretation by rejecting the plain meaning of the regulation narrowing the scope of its terms and stressing the general's statutory language over the specific regulatory language regarding the first point this court has repeatedly hel conflict if it does not directly conflict with the statute the court that has the supreme court has no it has a duty to uphold that regulation at all mr moran compared it to agricultural districts in and those who would be significant to the south of i eighty but in agricultural district is assume datagrid cultural it is not zoned residential notwithstanding the fact that it might have one to five houses up so it's very different than stone to me that's the heart of the question and we said in our case ya know instances where the phrase room for is used not simply for the overarching district which is where are we on an arch there's no dispute there are one in our  to those cases in the sea that language is used in again and we need to look to see can we uphold this regulation is this an appropriate interpretation of the statute need to make every effort to uphold it and we see that case is to use that phrase exclusively needs and this is where the supreme court limited the scope of the term exclusively by determining it should not apply to exclude accessory permitted and special uses this was an era finally  properly focused on the water statute so although the court recognized that a new argument had been made that the regulation was in any way a bit invalid it nevertheless in his reasoning was looking into the statute the specific controls the general and in the case and i apologize i don't have the name and perhaps on the panel can can notify the court assumed name of the case but that would look to when we have a defined term which is what the regulation here does it defines  overturn that apartments forward rather it must find that the department's interpretation was on recent ball and it has knots on that here and for those reasons and must the court has any further questions legislation that this was not intended to be that to be broadly construed so it was a poor it for the regulation to explain that to define what was meant by that legislation interest in proceedings to warrant it intervention i think the court reading the transcript or the record in this case was more concerned about the timeliness issue all of the other issues played a part and some months before i don't know the exact amount great now as i sit here and nothing happened on that permit to the best of the records information and nothing happened and nothing happened and then four days location it doesn't say anything specifically about you know tying me for building al to the center and there i would have been a number of permits that would have been they curative you know go through the politics i think to a public easier i take things one at a time so i'll start with the main issue here which is the regulation and the interplay between regulation and the statue the first thing i is nothing in the act that suggests that the legislature intended to limit the location requirement for cultivation growing centers in this way so the department's interpretation excuse me is in fact legislation and to look at the regulations propounded b as a result of that legislation so now we have two layers of legislative review how do we disregard i asked again it cannot be out of i'm sorry you tell me is there are areas that are zoned exclusively residential the fact that special permits may be a wild exclusively residential his own area department's interpretation of the word exclusively as saying exclusively but no special permits again i i think just curious and got right to point you have to look at the zoning doesn't nation and what its title special use permits allowed that does not change the zoning doesn't nation of those districts from something other than exclusively residential again especially use permit doesn't change the zoning category it's an exception to what else is and other uses of the property trying like we would with our one in our five correct yes yes that is cracked me but again you know as we've been arguing we cannot house to be more than twenty five hundred feet away from that protecting curative interests as well as having open access to the courts when regionally you had requested even the motion with curative that the record be sealed really like we did and then we're able to later confidentiality and between open access of records in the in the administrative process can anybody working to get a copy of their record i'll be trying to get the parts that are not challenge does remain child so i wanted to get your work project to do is file a petition for administrative review that opens the door to all of the records that i otherwise would not have been able to presumption of the right to excess there is and they can also be filed under seal so that only the parties have access to meet with her position our witness then it is more appropriate for the court to pick and choose del something that but for the step out of the statute is still illegal in the state of illinois there are public concerns with respect to we are growing centers maybe located where sensors may be located how we think access and there's no transparency nothing is disclosed it's all you two parties are going to complain about what it was that the department signed it and so my guess is you don't globally how do we balance that apparent conflict i mean you you know the opposite of transparency is in a back room in a closed proceeding where all of the merchants are confidential how do we balance what the legislature has said you can't even for you in this stuff but you know when it comes to court it's all recreational legalization of recreational marijuana which potentially on the horizon now i think that transparency at all levels benefits everyone and it isn't an apples oh i thought i'd agree and i agree with what you say conference would be that it would be transparent at all levels now only for those who are seeking these permits but again who are members of the community for taxpayers in areas where they're going to be located whether they be the centers for dispensary so the public certainly has an interest in knowing the qualifications and the expertise of the businesses that are going to be operating these either growing centers or censorious in their community conducted it's proceeding here the same manner whether we call them confidential or not one confidential the trial court looked at everything sort of through what should be sealed or what should be released and that's what the truck here if everything had been i guess the best practice because the terms of such things as trade secrets which probably is what was motivating the legislature unfortunately there's not a lot of legislative history available very minimal if anything i'm this particular accident that was certainly a very motivating twenty one months from the time of the filing of the initial complaint to the circuit court's decision of august twenty fourth and there's also a time when the ideal way they had time to review all of the applications for obligation on her to do so in the city if we were issued a permit for the silly and for the twenty two at least twenty one months between the time of the filing of our complaint and the supreme court's order nothing was going on at that site it seems very odd to me to think that no one in the city of aurora knew that no construction was going on at the site that this permit was not being acted upon and the writer indicates believe they needed to in or be in and then once again the city's burning to a sale is timeliness there are you know mr mr walls statements to the circuit court below were were printed knowledge that instead there is no evidence city of aurora would have to add to this been able to say even a child would be you know for example a city in the street or i drove down the street and i didn't see anything going on so i went back to my office and made phone calls that would be something they have to say when they learned of this in ministry of review proceeding the day after the order you're trying to even giving them the opportunity to it again and give a specific piece of information that is should not be tied to the call from down to a curable mobic curative counsel indicated that he thought about it over the weekend and i don't think you called on monday may be called only tuesday so yes he gave the date he gave that date yes but then he's also told the circuit courts that he was only referring to th specific order and not to the administrative review proceeding and again it was a were it is his burden to establish what is more of the administrative review proceeding the action and not what it learned of the final order and heard in the the provision in question sassed one forty five a the information received and records kept by the department of agriculture for the purpose of administering this act are subject to all clickable federal privacy laws confidentiality and exempt from the freedom of information act and now subject to disclosure to an individual or public or private and be except as necessary for the authorized employees of these what happened in this case and going right to your question here is this case the fifth place and the can and you have to recognize that my client yak four and a half percent of all available police very clear this is a pilot program and they can change it in the future if they think they have to problem with the courts this something that there is there are a variety of that they can do in relation to the twenty five the act if you look at the act itself the purpose this says is to protect these patients who have debilitating diseases and who love them to use these drugs which may help them this the pact which gives cities municipalities zoning districts the option to adopt their ordinances but also of the requirement th e where the legislation has worked perfectly that the regulations hey are protected again what's the protection and what's the purpose of the twenty five hundred  if you were driven to mine and has to look at it and say what is there you couldn't guess in a million years what was going on inside it therefore in this case nothing did is done by the department or if it has finally and purpose that the legislature put out there in this instance and again as a pilot program even if it did you could change and you if your honor first i just want to say that case that i have mentioned in my opening with respect to looking to the specific regulatory linkage and that's a monarch gas company out versus illinois commerce commission which is cited i'm peach ten of our brief indeed as justice hutchinson mentioned readouts exclusively from the regulation so in fact that would be what would occur here to cost effectively out exclusively that is their interpretation to two years two competing interpretations do we owe deference to a dissatisfied party or do we hold just for instance to the interpretation of the engine c and we look to our supreme court precedent and we see we the courts must make every effort to help hold a regulation if it is not in conflict with the statute there has been no showing here that this is in conflict with this actually rather if this is a highly regulated area that the legislature  prior to the entry of final judgment and therefore i would argue given that it wasn't until after all this twenty four twenty seventeen that necessity for the
