Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024
A. Application fee. Effective February 14, 2022, the Department shall collect twenty- nine dollars and fifty cents from each applicant at the time of application to pay for the direct and indirect costs to administer the medical use of marijuana program, unless the applicant meets the criteria set forth in section (b) of this Regulation (7) establishing indigence. Such fee shall not be refundable to the applicant if the application is denied or revoked or if the patient no longer has a debilitating or disabling medical condition. The amount of the fee shall be evaluated annually by the department to ensure compliance with the applicable statutes and the fee meets the actual Medical Marijuana Registry expenses. The department shall propose modifications to the board, as appropriate. If the patient provides updated information at any time during the effective period of the registry identification card, the department shall not charge a fee to modify the registry information concerning the patient.
B. Indigence fee waiver. Any individual submitting an application for the registry may request an indigence fee waiver if he or she submits at the time of application a copy of the applicant's state tax return certified by the department of revenue that confirms that the applicant's income does not exceed one hundred eighty-five percent of the federal poverty line, adjusted for family size.
C. Notification of indigent status. Individuals who meet the indigence standard after they have been approved for the medical marijuana registry may provide the necessary information in the manner determined by the department, notifying the department of their status and supplying a copy of the applicant's state tax return certified by the department of revenue that confirms that the applicant's income does not exceed one hundred eighty-five percent of the federal poverty line, adjusted for family size. Upon receipt and confirmation of the information, the department shall issue a new medical marijuana registry card for the remaining term of the current card noting said indigent status for tax exemption purposes.
