Summary
The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the circuit court’s judgment, holding that the Department of Health and Senior Services may be compelled to disclose confidential medical‑marijuana license application information in discovery when the applicant seeks judicial review of a denial. The Court interpreted Article XIV, section 1.3(5) of the Missouri Constitution to allow such use of confidential data for the purpose of an appeal, and found the Administrative Hearing Commission acted within its authority.
