within this state, including the manufacture, importation, possession, transportation and
sale thereof.

Findings of Fact
Applicant member, Alexa D. Rix, was issued a citation in 2015 for sale to a minor.

Conclusions of Law
Administrative rules 436.1105(2)(g) and R 436.1105(2)(j) provide that the
Commission must consider the applicants past convictions and the effects that the
issuance of a license would have on the health, welfare, and safety of the general public
when determining whether an applicant should be issued a license or permit.
Based on the findings of fact, review of the file, and discussion of the issues at the
meeting, the Commission concludes that the applicants request should be denied under
the provisions of administrative rules R 436.1105(2)(g) and R 436.1105(2)(j) due to the
following:
1. The conviction history of applicant stockholder, Alexa D. Rix.
2. That the issuance of a license would have a negative impact on the health,
welfare, and safety of the general public.

Decision
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the applicants request is DENIED under the
provisions of administrative rules R 436.1105(2)(g) and R 436.1105(2)(j).

Appeal Right
Under the provisions of administrative rule R 436.1925(2), if a license application
is denied, then the applicant may request an appeal hearing. The request shall be made
to the Lansing office of the Commission within 20 days from the date of the mailing of the
decision of denial.
