Section 700.100 - Complaints

(A) The Department shall investigate every complaint about drug diversion or tampering received related to a registrant's registration pursuant to M.G.L. c. 94C and 105 CMR 700.000.

(B) If the Department finds that an investigation is not required because the alleged act or practice is not in violation of M.G.L. c. 94C or 105 CMR 700.000, or any policies of the Department pursuant thereto, the Department shall make a note in the complaint file of this finding and the reasons on which it is based.

(C) If the Department finds that an investigation is required, because the alleged act or practice may be in violation of M.G.L. c. 94C or 105 CMR 700.000, or any policies of the Department pursuant thereto, the Department shall investigate. If a finding is made that the act or practice does constitute such a violation, the Department shall apply whichever enforcement procedure(s), as provided in 105 CMR 700.000, is appropriate to remedy the situation and the Department shall notify other interested parties, including law enforcement or a licensing board, as appropriate, of its action in this matter.

(D) Investigation of complaints may lead to enforcement actions, including a warning letter or a letter of reprimand; or a revocation, suspension, or refusal to renew a registration by the Department. The Department may specify in any such enforcement action taken against a registrant a requirement to undergo and successfully complete remedial training, in accordance with terms set out in the enforcement action.
