The Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) Thursday received a legal update and approved corrections to a state testing laboratory license application.
Mark Wilkerson, an attorney for the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission, updated the commission on ongoing legal cases. Wilkerson said three Court of Civil Appeals decisions over the past two and a half months ordered temporary restraining orders to be dissolved, but one of the denied applicants filed a petition requesting the Alabama Supreme Court review a decision made by the Court of Civil Appeals.
"We don't have a timetable for what the Supreme Court may do in regard to that petition. If the (Alabama) Supreme Court issues an order requiring participation and briefing, this agency will do that," Wilkerson said during the meeting.
The AMCC on February 14 opened a one-month window for parties to request an application for state testing laboratory licenses. From the five applications the commission received, the AMCC received one that had to be amended before being accepted. Justin Aday, general counsel for the commission, said that once the application was resubmitted, the only outstanding item was a background check.
