In February the Illinois Liquor Control Commission conducted compliance checks around the state and visited 211 businesses licensed to sell liquor. They cited 49 licensees for violations of liquor control laws, including a couple in Saint Clair County. 77 percent of the licensees visited complied with Illinois liquor laws and refused to serve underage customers. This report is a result of ongoing undercover and cooperative law enforcement operations conducted by ILCC agents and local law enforcement officials and volunteers from high schools and colleges. The teams randomly visit liquor stores, restaurants and bars in communities around the state to check for ongoing compliance with state laws mandating that no liquor is sold to minors under the age of 21. ILCC agents also work with local and state law enforcement agents to focus on communities with a high incidence of underage liquor sales. On February 26th, they visited 17 places in Belleville and Swansea. Two places in Swansea, Hokkaido Sea Food Buffet 2 and Aldi, Incorporated allegedly sold alcohol to underage ILCC participants.
