§ 55-01 Scope and Construction.

RCNY § 55-01

This chapter applies to the enforcement by the Department of Finance of matters involving tobacco and synthetic marijuana (also known as "K2"), pursuant to various provisions of the New York City Administrative Code. The Commissioner of the Department of Finance (the "Commissioner") hereby designates the Hearings Division of the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings ("OATH") to adjudicate Summonses issued by the Department alleging tobacco and synthetic marijuana violations. These rules supplement the rules of the Hearings Division of OATH found in 48 RCNY Chapter 6. The term "Summons" as used in these rules is defined by the rules of the OATH Hearings Division (48 RCNY § 6-01) and is the equivalent of a "Notice of Violation" as that term is defined in and of the Administrative Code.
