A.
Financial Obligations to the Department of Game and Fish:
(1) The department will consign carcass tags
				to each vendor prior to the beginning of each license year, and will conduct an
				audit at the end of the license year to account for all carcass tags not issued
				to customers. All carcass tags designated unusable in any month during the
				license year must be returned to the department no later than the
				10th day of the next month, and all blank, unused
				carcass tags must be returned to the department at the end of the license year
				no later than May 10.
(2) A fee of
				$100 per missing carcass tag shall be levied upon the license vendor for
				failure to return any carcass tag designated unusable or any blank, unused
				carcass tag as required.
(3)
				Eachvendor accepting cash payments, must submit payment for cash sales to the
				department every two weeks or when the total amount due (including license and
				vendor fees) reaches $5,000, whichever comes first.
(4) If a vendor is more than five days
				delinquent in its payment for cash sales, the privilege to accept cash for
				department licenses and permits shall be immediately suspended, and the
				department shall only reactivate the vendor's full license sale privilege once
				payment is received in full.
(5) A
				vendor that is delinquent more than three times in a license year shall be
				evaluated by the director, who shall determine whether to suspend, restrict or
				place conditions on the vendor's privileges pursuant to Subsection C of
				19.30.9.8 NMAC.
(6) Any vendor that
				has their privileges suspended, restricted, or conditioned may request a
				hearing before a hearing officer to appeal the director's determination. Any
				vendor that does not request a hearing agrees to pay to the department the
				appropriate amount as specified in Paragraphs 1-3 of Subsection A of 19.30.9.8
				NMAC within ten (10) working days and to comply with the director's
				determination. If a vendor requests a hearing as provided by this rule, the
				department, within 20 days of receipt of such request, shall notify the vendor
				of the time and place of the hearing and the name or names of the person or
				persons who shall conduct the hearing for the commission. The hearing shall be
				held not more than 90 or less than 30 days from the date of service of such
				notice unless a continuance is granted to either party by the hearing
				officer.
(7) In the case of unusual
				mitigating or extraordinary circumstances, the state game commission may
				determine, and the hearing officer may recommend, financial obligation in an
				amount other than the amounts described in Paragraphs 1-3 of Subsection A of
				19.30.9.8 NMAC. The decision of the state game commission shall be
				final.
(8) Vendors, whether active
				or inactive, shall meet all financial obligations due to the department. Costs
				to collect overdue financial obligations may be added to the total
				obligation.
