Each of the following, in and of itself, constitutes full and adequate grounds for denial of an agent Registration Card for a Marijuana Establishment Agent, including Laboratory Agents:

(1) Failure to provide the information required in 935 CMR 500.029 or 500.030.

(3) Failure to meet the requirements set forth in 935 CMR 500.029 or 500.030;

(4) Revocation or suspension of an agent Registration Card in the previous six months;

(5) Failure by the Marijuana Establishment to pay all applicable fees; or

(6) 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 Marijuana Establishment Agent, or that make the applicant unsuitable for registration; however, the Commission will provide notice to the applicant of the grounds prior to the denial of the agent Registration Card and a reasonable opportunity to correct these grounds.

(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 CMR 500.800.
