15.03.520 Reporting by Designated Caregivers

(a) If a certified patient has a designated caregiver, that designated caregiver may notify the Authority of any changes on behalf of the certified patient using the same forms and process prescribed for certified patients.

(b) If a certified patient or designated caregiver notifies the Authority of any change that results in information on the registry identification card being inaccurate or the photograph needing to be replaced, the certified patient or designated caregiver shall obtain a replacement registry identification card. The Authority shall thereafter issue the certified patient or designated caregiver a new registry identification card. Upon receipt of a new registry identification card, the certified patient or designated caregiver shall destroy in a non-recoverable manner the registry identification card that was replaced.

(c) If a certified patient or designated caregiver becomes aware of the loss, theft or destruction of the registry identification card of such certified patient or designated caregiver, the certified patient or designated caregiver shall notify the Authority, on a form and in a manner prescribed by the Authority, not later than ten days of becoming aware of the loss, theft or destruction. The Authority shall inactivate the initial registry identification card upon receiving such notice and issue a replacement registry identification card upon receiving the applicable fee provided the applicant continues to satisfy the requirements of this chapter. Prior to issuance of the first replacement registry identification card, a certified patient or designated caregiver shall submit to the Authority a fee of $25, transmitted in a fashion as determined by the Authority. For each subsequent replacement registry identification card, a certified patient or designated caregiver shall submit to the Authority a fee of $50, transmitted in a fashion as determined by the Authority.
