Grayslake Issues Guidance On Solicitors
The village can't prohibit door-to-door solicitors. And the police dept. will screen applicants and educate them on social distancing.
April 23 2020
After consulting with the Village attorney, it has been determined that Villages cannot prevent the authorization of door-to-door commercial solicitation due to provisions of the United States Constitution. While there are no active solicitor's permits in the Village at this time, you may encounter a solicitor in the community. From the lack of applications received by the Village it appears that companies who participate in door-to-door commercial solicitation have reduced their operations during this time. The Police Department, who issues the authorizations, will be performing the necessary screening of any applicants and providing guidance on social distancing and other safety measures to any potential solicitors.
