• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 19: Foods, Drugs, Oils, and Compounds

Text

1. Within ten calendar days of the change, in a manner prescribed by the department, a
registered qualifying patient or registered designated caregiver shall notify the
department of any of the following:
a. A change in the cardholder's name or address;
b. Knowledge of a change that would render the registered qualifying patient no
longer eligible to participate in the medical marijuana program;
c. Knowledge of a change that results in the registered qualifying patient's health
care provider no longer meeting the definition of the term "health care provider"
as defined under section 19-24.1-01; or

d. Knowledge of a change that renders the registered qualifying patient's registered
designated caregiver no longer eligible to participate in the medical marijuana
program.
2. If a registered qualifying patient seeks to change the patient's designated caregiver,
the registered qualifying patient shall notify the department in writing of this change.
3. If a cardholder loses the cardholder's registry identification card, the cardholder shall
notify the department in writing within twenty-four hours of becoming aware of the loss.
4. If a registered qualifying patient is unable to make a notification required under this
section due to age or medical condition, that patient's registered designated caregiver
or the individual responsible for making medical decisions for that patient shall provide
the notification.
5. If the department receives notification of an item listed in this section and the nature of
the item reported does not affect a cardholder's eligibility, the department may issue
the cardholder a new registry identification card within twenty calendar days of
approving the updated information and the cardholder may pay a fee, not to exceed
twenty-five dollars. If a cardholder notifying the department is a registered qualifying
patient who has a registered designated caregiver, the department shall issue the
patient's registered designated caregiver a new registry identification card within
twenty calendar days of approving the updated information.
6. If the department receives notification of an item listed in this section and the nature of
the item reported makes the cardholder ineligible, the cardholder's registry
identification card becomes void immediately upon notification of the department and
the registered cardholder shall dispose of any usable marijuana in the cardholder's
possession within fifteen calendar days, in accordance with rules adopted under this
chapter.
7. A registered qualifying patient's certifying health care provider may notify the
department in writing if the health care provider's registered qualifying patient no
longer has a debilitating medical condition. The health care provider may notify the
department if a bona fide provider-patient relationship ceases to exist. Except if the
bona fide provider-patient relationship is terminating due to the health care provider
moving to a location where it is not suitable to continue the bona fide provider-patient
relationship, the qualifying patient's registry identification card becomes void
immediately upon the health care provider's notification of the department. If the bona
fide provider-patient relationship is terminating due to the health care provider moving
to a location where it is not suitable to continue the bona fide provider-patient
relationship, the qualifying patient's registry identification card is void if the registered
qualifying patient fails to establish a new bona fide provider-patient relationship within
sixty days of the department receiving notice from the original health care provider. If
the registry identification card is voided under this subsection, the registered qualifying
patient shall dispose of any usable marijuana in the cardholder's possession within
fifteen calendar days, in accordance with rules adopted under this chapter.
