Section 10.25.3.10 - INITIAL NOTICE

A. Notification by letter: Upon determination that an applicant or licensee appears on HSD's certified list of obligors, the state fire marshal shall notify the applicant or licensee by letter that the applicant or licensee must provide the state fire marshal with a subsequent statement of compliance within 30 days of the date the state fire marshal mailed the notification.

B. Contents of letter: The notice letter to applicants and licensees shall advise that failure to timely provide the statement of compliance shall result in commencement of a formal hearing brought by the state fire marshal before the state fire board for rejection of an application or suspension or revocation of an issued license as provided in 10.25.3.11 NMAC.

C. Retailer permits: In order to ensure compliance with the Parental Responsibility Act, every distributor, wholesaler, or manufacturer, before issuing retail permits to individuals, must receive a letter of clearance from the state fire marshal or his designee, stating that the individual applicant is not on the HSD certified list of obligors in violation of a child support judgment and order. Retail permits issued by distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers to individuals are invalid without state fire marshal's clearance being attached and available for display. Telefaxed transmission of the state fire marshal's clearance letter is permissible.
