Only insiders really know why they sued. The leader was a man who applies for a license in maybe October last year and expected to get licensed just because he submitted an application. So when he wasn't one of the last producers who were licensed in December, he decided to sue for the DOH to disclose their criteria for their previous selections. There were some who have had their apps in for over 2 years without being approved. Recently learned that there were 102 pending applications and only 4 were complete. The other 98 apps were incomplete. Now those 92 received a letter, but it only states their app has been denied because it was incomplete. The only criteria that I am aware of is found in the Rules and Regulations. Although not specific or "spelled out" anyone who wants to apply would really just need to follow the Rules and Regs and the Lynn & Erin Compassionate Use Act to be able to determine what is needed.

The app fee increased from $100 to $1000 back when the rules changed in December 2010. The reasoning was due to the number of frivolous applications (indicative by the number of incomplete applications). Many of the apps would be submitted without the patient board members in place. Something that basic! They would tell Dominick "when you give us our license we will have access to the patient base and will be able to get our 3 patients then." Give me a break. Anyone who wants to be a LNPP should at least have their board in place. So, they increased the non-refundable fee in hopes of receiving only complete applications. A little harder to lose $1,000 as opposed to $100.
CFO Reviewed by CFO on . Future of Program with Martinez in office? What has anyone heard about producer renewels/ new applications with the new administration?
