Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64ER24-1 - MMTC Seed-to-Sale Tracking System Integration
(1) For purposes of this rule, the following
definitions apply:
(a) "Department STS
Tracking System" means the computer software seed-to-sale (STS) tracking system
established, maintained, and controlled by the department pursuant to s.
381.986(8)(d),
F.S.
(b) "Internal STS Tracking
System" means an MMTC's own computer software seed-to-sale tracking
system.
(c) "Unique product ID"
means a unique combination of letters, numbers, or special characters selected
by an MMTC and assigned to each type of usable product and marijuana delivery
device made available to qualified patients. Usable products of the same
cultivar, size, volume, flavor, ratio of tetrahydrocannabinol to cannabidiol,
and route of administration shall be considered a single product type for
purposes of assigning a unique product ID. The stock-keeping unit (SKU) number
assigned to an MMTC's usable product or marijuana delivery device may also
serve as the unique product ID so long as the SKU number is unique to each
product type and marijuana delivery device.
(2) An MMTC must use an Internal STS Tracking
System that fully integrates with the Department STS Tracking System. An
Internal STS Tracking System is deemed fully integrated with the Department STS
Tracking System when it successfully connects to and communicates with the
Department STS Tracking System in real time. This connection will be
established through an application programming interface (API).
(3) Prior to full integration with the
Department STS Tracking System, each MMTC must attend three
department-facilitated training sessions with the Department's STS Tracking
System Vendor. Each MMTC must also submit a written integration plan to the
department, all in accordance with the following schedule.
(a) An MMTC that is licensed by the
department as of the effective date of this rule shall:
1. Attend its first training session within
45 calendar days from the effective date of this rule;
2. Submit a written integration plan to the
department within 30 calendar days after the date of its first training
session;
3. Attend its second
training session within 15 calendar days after the date of its submission of a
written integration plan to the department; and
4. Attend its third training session within
15 calendar days after the date of its second training session.
(b) An MMTC that is licensed after
the effective date of this rule shall attend three training sessions and submit
a written integration plan such that the MMTC achieves full integration with
the Department STS Tracking System before obtaining cultivation authorization
from the department.
(4)
The written integration plan required in subsection (3) must detail the process
for fully integrating the MMTC's Internal STS Tracking System with the
Department STS Tracking System.
(a) The
written integration plan must be submitted to the department for approval via
email at ommu_seedtosale@flhealth.gov. The department will send written notice
to the MMTC either approving the written integration plan, requesting
additional information, or requiring changes to the plan.
(b) The written integration plan must
include, without limitation, the following information:
1. Name, phone number, and email address of
the MMTC's contact person with primary responsibility for integrating the
Internal STS Tracking System with the Department STS Tracking System;
2. Name of the Internal STS Tracking
System;
3. Key date milestones,
including, but not limited to:
a. The date the
MMTC will obtain login credentials for user acceptance testing;
b. The date the MMTC will begin integrating
its Internal STS Tracking System with the Department STS Tracking System;
and
c. The date the MMTC will
complete integration of its Internal STS Tracking System with the Department
STS Tracking System;
4.
A contingency plan for tracking marijuana during any period in which the MMTC's
Internal STS Tracking System is disconnected from the Department STS Tracking
System (meaning communication between the two systems is disrupted) and for
transmitting all tracked marijuana data to the Department STS Tracking System
once the communication between the two systems is restored; and
5. Names, phone numbers, and email addresses
of the MMTC employees responsible for participating in the initial integration
process and for maintaining full integration after it is initially established.
Only those employees identified by the MMTC as responsible for establishing and
maintaining integration are authorized to access the API.
(c) If an MMTC changes its Internal STS
Tracking System vendor after achieving full integration, the MTMC must submit a
new written integration plan to the department pursuant to the variance process
provided in Rule 64-4.023, F.A.C., prior to
instituting the change. An MMTC may update its integration plan as needed
(e.g., add or remove designated employees responsible for maintaining full
integration) pursuant to the variance process provided in Rule
64-4.023, F.A.C.
(5) As a part of its integration
with the Department STS Tracking System, an MMTC shall assign a unique product
ID to each type of usable product and marijuana delivery device within its
current inventory of usable products.
(a)
Together with its written integration plan, an MMTC shall identify the unique
product IDs the MMTC has assigned to its current inventory of usable products
and marijuana delivery devices by completing Form DH5058-OMMU-11/2023, "MMTC
Usable Product and Delivery Device Inventory and Unique Product ID,"
incorporated by referenced herein and available at
https://knowthefactsmmj.com/rules-and-regulations/,
and submitting the completed form to the department via email at
ommu_seedtosale@flhealth.gov.
(b)
On or before the date of its third training session with the Department's STS
Tracking System vendor, an MMTC shall ensure that its current inventory of
marijuana and marijuana delivery devices is entered into its Internal STS
Tracking System and that the MMTC's Internal STS Tracking System provides the
Department all required information regarding the MMTC's current inventory of
marijuana and marijuana delivery devices, as provided in the department's MMTC
Seed-to-Sale Tracking System Procedures rule and incorporated
material.
(6) An MMTC's
failure to comply with the requirements stated herein will result in
disciplinary action in accordance with Rule
64-4.210, F.A.C., including
suspension and revocation of the MMTC's license.
(7) An MMTC licensed as of the effective date
of this rule may request and obtain an extension of the integration deadlines
provided in this rule.
(a) The department may
grant a request for extension, not to exceed 6 months, where the MMTC
demonstrates that compliance with the integration deadlines is not feasible due
to hardware failures, software failures, or other technical matters outside of
the MMTC's control.
(b) To request
an extension of the integration deadlines, an MMTC must submit, prior to
expiration of the integration deadlines, a written request to the department
via email to ommu_seedtosale@flhealth.gov. The written request must include,
without limitation, the following information:
1. The basis for the request, including the
detailed facts and reason(s) supporting why compliance with the integration
deadlines is not feasible;
2.
Documentation demonstrating that the inability to comply with the deadlines is
outside of the MMTC's control and not merely the result of delay or lack of
resources by the MMTC.
3. The
length of the requested extension; and
4. The proposed detailed schedule for
achieving full integration within the MMTC's requested timeframe.
