(2) In addition to
the grounds in
935
CMR 501.032(1), a conviction
of a felony drug offense in the Commonwealth, or a like violation of the laws

(3)
Other grounds as the Commission may determine in the exercise of its
discretion, that are directly related to the applicant's ability to serve as a

registration. The Commission will provide notice to the Registrant of the
grounds prior to the revocation of an agent Registration Card and a reasonable
opportunity to correct these grounds.
(a) The
Commission may delegate Registrants' suitability determinations to the
Executive Director, who may appoint a Suitability Review Committee, in
accordance with
935
CMR 500.800. Suitability determinations shall
be based on credible and reliable information.
(b) The Executive Director may institute a
suitability review based on a recommendation from Enforcement staff that
background check information would result in or could support an adverse
suitability determination. All suitability determinations will be made in
accordance with the procedures set forth in
935
