BREAKING: ‘Potential inconsistencies’ prompt Alabama to pause medical marijuana licenses alpolitics
The licenses would allow the approved companies to grow, sell, test and transport medical marijuana.
AMCC said it issued the paused after discovering what it called “potential inconsistencies in the tabulation of scoring data,” though it did not cite any specifics. The commission is now seeking an independent review of all scoring data. “The Commission will work expeditiously to investigate and identify inconsistencies in the score data” explained AMCC Director, John McMillan. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending all current procedural timelines until those matters are resolved.”
The decision has three effects. First, applicants who were awarded a license on Monday will not be required to pay the license fee by June 26. Second, those applicants who were denied award of license on Monday are not required to submit a request for an investigative hearing by June 26. Third, licenses that were awarded on Monday will not issue on July 10, 2023.
Once the commission lifts its stay, for which there is no set timeline, it will reconsider the award of licenses and provide a timeline for the payment of license fees, request for investigative hearings, and issuance of licenses.
