Jackson, Miss. — The commission ratified 17 agreed orders and voluntary license surrenders at the May 2 meeting after staff presented summaries of each case.

Scott Deong, who presented the agenda item, told commissioners, "I have, 17 of your orders I'd like to present." The orders, as summarized in the public transcript, included a mix of license suspensions, probation terms and voluntary surrenders; in several cases the orders remove or suspend licenses "until further disposition by the commission," staff said.

The transcript lists multiple licensees by name and license number as part of the presentation. Examples in the public record include John McCrory (license number 1973537) and Amber Robin (license number 26288); other entries in the transcript show probation terms and lengthy suspensions described for several named licensees. Staff noted that some sanctions are contingent on the completion of criminal investigations or judicial proceedings.

Commissioners moved to ratify the agreed orders and surrenders and approved the ratification by voice vote; the transcript records multiple "Aye" responses and a "Motion carried." MDE staff told commissioners that ratification streamlines case resolution and avoids the need for separate disciplinary commission hearings in these matters.

The department said the ratified actions are administrative and that affected licensees may petition for reinstatement or otherwise seek further commission disposition in accordance with the terms of each agreed order.

The commission then moved on to other business and adjourned at 10:57 a.m.
