Proposal 1 - Michigan
I'm not so sure you would be a legal at this point until the Department of Community Health approves your application. As I read the act, DCH has 15 days to make a decision on your application and then five days to issue you a card.
If the DCH does not meet the standard of promptness timeframes outlined in the act, I wonder if patients could seek relief by requesting an administrative law hearing. The burden should be on DCH to do what they are legally required to do.
