The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has decided to revoke the registration of Jeffrey W. Young, Jr., a nurse practitioner from Tennessee, due to his lack of state authorization to handle controlled substances. Young's Tennessee nurse and advanced practice nurse licenses were both revoked, making him ineligible to dispense medications under state laws. Despite being given a chance, Young did not request a hearing to challenge this decision, leading the DEA to proceed with the revocation of his Certificate of Registration. This order will be effective from January 29, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The DEA decided not to let Jeffrey Young, Jr., a nurse from Tennessee, give out certain medicines anymore because his state said he couldn't. He didn't ask to talk to them about it, so they went ahead and made it official; this will start on January 29, 2025.
