US News reported on The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette which describes how the five-member commission developed a detailed application scoring method:
“The commission had decided in earlier meetings that it will grant 32 dispensary licenses and five cultivation facility licenses. The dispensaries will be spread evenly in eight geographic zones across the state.
Half of the 100 total points that are available to potential growers and sellers were in a section devoted to operating marijuana facilities in compliance with laws and rules. It deals with everything from the ability to grow marijuana to security planning.
Other sections are devoted to applicant qualifications, financial disclosure and an operations plan. Applicants also can get up to 10 bonus points for meeting certain optional standards set by the state, including minority-group member ownership, association with a medical doctor or pharmacist, or providing programs beneficial to the community.”
