DHSS: Established Ten Medical Marijuana Application Advisory Committees
DHSS has established ten advisory committees - one for each of the application scoring criteria established by the Missouri Constitution – to review application scoring questions to be drafted by the Department.
The review process is as follows:
Feedback can be provided through the online suggestion form (two business days prior to each committee meeting.)
Based on public comments, DHSS staff will revise the draft questions and provide the revised questions and any comments received from the public to the Advisory Committee Members for a given topic.
Each Advisory Committee will meet and discuss the draft questions, suggest modification, and make a recommendation to DHSS.
Further, based on the committee’s recommended questions, the committee will recommend weights for each question within the committee’s purview.
Public comment will not be allowed during committee meetings.
DHSS will review the recommendations and finalize the questions, which will be incorporated into the final rules.
The meeting schedule and committee members are below.
