Board dismisses one complaint, keeps guidance in another and ends probation in a third
Summary
The Board of Alcohol & Drug Counselors dismissed complaint 2025-ALC-20708 for lack of evidence, kept a letter of guidance in another case for 10 years, and terminated probation in a third matter during its Sept. 19 meeting.
The Board of Alcohol & Drug Counselors dismissed complaint 2025-ALC-20708 after a motion by Board member Laurence Gross and a second from Chair Robert Rogers. The minutes record the motion to "dismiss this complaint due to the lack of evidence of a violation of Board laws or rules," and the vote was 2 in favor, with Lisa Williams recorded as abstaining.
The Board also handled two compliance matters from 2024. The Board voted to keep a previously issued letter of guidance for case 2024-ALC-20344 in the licensee’s file for 10 years after a motion by Laurence Gross and a second by Robert Rogers; the minutes record a 2-1 vote with Williams abstaining. Separately, the Board voted unanimously (3-0) to terminate probation and notify the licensee in case 2024-ALC-19741, on a motion moved by Gross and seconded by Rogers.
Why this matters: These actions reflect routine disciplinary oversight by the Board, balancing public-protection steps (probation termination or continued monitoring via guidance letters) with decisions not to pursue enforcement when the Board found insufficient evidence. The outcomes affect the license status and public record of the individuals involved.
What’s next: The minutes do not record further investigative steps for the dismissed case; the retained guidance will remain part of the license file for the stated 10-year period.
