Alabama Always claims state commission retaliated for criticism and violated its First and Fourteenth Amendment rights during flawed licensing process.
These lawsuit are just the latest in a string of legal challenges against the AMCC, painting a picture of a regulatory body struggling with transparency and fairness.
The Commission is likely to rescind awards once again next Thursday, but plaintiffs say it won't matter if the process continues to use flawed third-party scoring.
The lawsuit contends that the revised scoring methodology overly emphasized complex paper submissions, neglecting the primary mandate of the Compassion Act.
