How are the laws and rules of the MMMA enforced?
The MMMP enforces the registration process making sure applications are complete before issuing a registry identification card, terminating incomplete or fraudulent applications, and revoking cards if individuals commit violations of the MMMA. The MMMP verifies the names and addresses of patients and caregivers with local and state law enforcement personnel if they call the MMMP requesting such information. As local and state law enforcement agencies enforce the MMMA around the state, they may verify with the MMMP at any time whether a particular patient or designated primary caregiver is registered with MMMP. Local and state law enforcement personnel may take any action they believe is necessary to enforce the criminal laws of the state, including violations of the MMMA. Local and state law enforcement actions may vary.
