NEW: Compassion Centers Announcement Postponed until March 15
The department said new Interim Director Michael Fine needed additional time to review the 18 applications the state received.
“HEALTH staff have been working diligently on the review of the 18 applications and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest integrity of the decision-making process,” Fine said. “This has been a challenging budget season requiring much of the Department’s focus and energy. In order to make an informed decision about such a complex issue, I will need a few more days to finalize the Department’s decision on Compassion Centers. We are firmly committed to making a decision by March 15.”
