NIC Inc. (Nasdaq: EGOV), the nation’s leader of innovative
digital government solutions, will provide its Licensing and
Registration platform for the state of West Virginia.
Charleston-based West Virginia Interactive, LLC, an NIC company,
will partner with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human
Resources, Bureau for Public Health (DHHR-BPH) to provide patient
and caregiver registration, and business licenses for dispensaries
and cultivation facilities for the state’s new medical cannabis
program.
“NIC is excited to provide a solution to assist the state of
West Virginia’s new medical cannabis program,” said Alex
Valvassori, General Manager of NIC Licensing Solutions. “We are
focused on helping West Virginia make compliance with this highly
regulated industry simpler and more efficient.”
NIC’s licensing solution was built to serve the cannabis and
hemp industries, and other highly regulated industries, with
cloud-native technology that allows for quick deployment. The
patient and caregiver component of the platform processes new
applications, issues patient renewals, and manages patient
information. The business licensing component issues new licenses
and license renewals to businesses involved in the growing,
processing, and dispensing of medical cannabis.
“The selection of a licensing solution brings West Virginia one
step closer to launching the medical cannabis program,” said Jason
Frame, Director of DHHR’s Office of Medical Cannabis. “We look
forward to working with the team to make the medical cannabis
program as efficient as possible.”
NIC and West Virginia Interactive (WVI) will provide the
Company’s recently acquired licensing and regulatory platform
concurrently with the public-private partnership between WVI and
the state of West Virginia. WVI works with state and local
government agencies to build and manage interactive online
services, including the official WV.gov website and many DMV Online
Services.
NIC currently provides its cannabis licensing solution in
Maryland, Montana, Oklahoma and Rhode Island; a custom cannabis
regulatory for the state of Oregon; a custom medical cannabis
registry in Hawaii; and dozens of tailored licensing services
across the United States.
