“It could soon cost $200 for kids to set up a lemonade stand, have a bake sale or sell cupcakes in Illinois.  ‘This is absolutely insane!’ State Senator Jim Oberweis (R-Aurora) said. ‘Somebody in Madison County went crazy and decided to enforce a law against an 11 year old kid who was baking cupcakes. That was a mistake, but it happened.’  A law that [would have exempted] up to $1000 in sales [was amended] to require anyone selling food products to take an 8 hour food service sanitation course costing $145, obtain a county health department permit costing $25, label the food products to indicate ingredients and the fact that they are homemade, plus another $35 fee.”
