Part 3 - REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARDS
Section 7.34.3.14 - MONITORING AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Universal Citation: 7 NM Admin Code 7.34.3.14
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Monitoring:
(1) The department or its designee may
perform on-site assessments of a qualified patient or primary caregiver to
determine compliance with these rules. The department may enter the premises of
a qualified patient or primary caregiver during business hours for purposes of
monitoring and compliance. 24 hours notice will be provided to the qualified
patient or primary caregiver prior to an on-site assessment except when the
department has a reasonable suspicion to believe that providing notice will
result in the destruction of evidence or that providing such notice will impede
the department's ability to enforce these regulations.
(2) All qualified patients or primary
caregivers shall provide the department or the department's designee immediate
access to any material and information necessary for determining compliance
with these requirements.
(3)
Failure by the qualified patient or primary caregiver to provide the department
access to the premises or information may result in the revocation of the
qualified patient or primary caregiver enrollment and referral to state law
enforcement.
(4) Any failure by a
qualified patient or primary caregiver to adhere to these rules may result in
sanction(s), including suspension, revocation, non-renewal, or denial of
registration and referral to state or local law enforcement.
(5) The department may refer complaints
involving alleged criminal activity made against a qualified patient or primary
caregiver to the appropriate New Mexico state or local authorities.
B. Corrective action:
(1) If violations of these
requirements are cited as a result of a monitoring visit, the qualified patient
or primary caregiver shall be provided with an official written report of the
findings within seven business days following the monitoring visit.
(2) Unless otherwise specified by the
department, the qualified patient or primary caregiver shall correct the
violation within five calendar days of receipt of the official written report
citing the violation(s).
(3) The
violation shall not be deemed corrected until the department verifies in
writing within seven calendar days of receiving notice of the corrective action
that the corrective action is satisfactory.
(4) If the violation has not been corrected,
the program manager or designee may issue a notice of contemplated action to
revoke the enrollment of the qualified patient.
C. Suspension of enrollment without prior hearing: If immediate action is required to protect the health and safety of the general public, the qualified patient or primary caregivers, the medical cannabis program manager or designee may suspend the qualified patient or primary caregiver's enrollment in the medical cannabis program without notice.
(1) A qualified patient or primary
caregiver whose enrollment has been summarily suspended is entitled to an
administrative review not later than 30 calendar days after the enrollment is
summarily suspended.
(2) An
administrative review requested subsequent to a summary suspension shall be
conducted by the administrative review committee.
(3) The administrative review committee shall
conduct the administrative review on the summary suspension by reviewing all
documents submitted by both the participant and the department.
(4) The administrative review is not an
adjudicatory hearing; rather, the sole issue in an administrative review of a
summary suspension is whether the individual's enrollment shall remain
suspended pending a final administrative adjudicatory hearing and
decision.
(5) An enrollee given
notice of summary suspension by the medical cannabis program may submit a
written request for an administrative review. To be effective, the written
request shall:
(a) be made within 30 calendar
days, as determined by the postmark, from the date of the notice issued by the
department;
(b) be properly
addressed to the medical cannabis program;
(c) state the requestor's name, address, and
telephone numbers;
(d) provide a
brief narrative rebutting the circumstances of the suspension; and
(e) be accompanied by any additional
documentation offered in support of the request.
