This RFP is seeking responses only for a Statewide monitoring system for tracking, inventory, and verification of medical marihuana pursuant to the Marihuana Tracking Act. LARA will leverage an existing enterprise solution for licensing application processes under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (2016 PA281). Using an existing software package will allow LARA to meet the statutory deadline for implementation of the program while ensuring the needs of our customers are met.

i agree resto.

 

Verification (interface) that a registry ID card issued under the MMMA is current and valid and has

not been suspended, revoked, or denied.

 

nothing in the MMMA allows a card to be suspended. only revoked, only by LARA.

I wouldn't give too much thought to this possible mistake. It is common for laws to be passed with language that doesn't apply at the time but might in the future. An example is pharmaceutical cannabis law that was passed but is meaningless if and until cannabis is rescheduled.

 

But the language is still sloppy.

 

"Verification (interface) that a registry ID card issued under the MMMA is current and valid and has

not been suspended, revoked, or denied."

 

A registry ID card issued under the MMMA has not been denied. ... Heh. If LARA denied the card, it wouldn't exist in the first place.

seeing as this is talking about the stores denying a card, yes.

One more nail in the coffin of the dispensary business model. They heavily count on repeat business by the mule that is a designated buyer for a number of 'patients'. Cops know this that's why the rule is there. They are just cutting off every avenue that helps a dispensary actually make money. Most all decent profits for them are 'under the table'.
