Registration
Sec. 4. Registration. (a) The board shall register an applicant to
manufacture or distribute controlled substances unless it determines
that the issuance of that registration would be inconsistent with the
public interest. In determining the public interest, the board shall
consider:
(1) maintenance of effective controls against diversion of
controlled substances into other than legitimate medical,
scientific, or industrial channels;
(2) compliance with applicable state and local law;
(3) any convictions of the applicant under any federal and state
laws relating to any controlled substance;
(4) past experience in the manufacture or distribution of
controlled substances, and the existence in the applicant's
establishment of effective controls against diversion;
(5) furnishing by the applicant of false or fraudulent material in
any application filed under this article;
(6) suspension or revocation of the applicant's federal
registration to manufacture, distribute, or dispense controlled
substances as authorized by federal law; and
(7) any other factors relevant to and consistent with the public
health and safety.
(b) Registration under subsection (a) of this section does not
entitle a registrant to manufacture and distribute controlled
substances in schedules I or II other than those specified in the
registration.
(c) Practitioners must be registered to dispense any controlled
substances or to conduct research with controlled substances in
schedules II through V if they are authorized to dispense or conduct
research under the law of this state. The board need not require
separate registration under this chapter for practitioners engaging in
research with nonnarcotic controlled substances in schedules II
through V where the registrant is already registered under this
chapter in another capacity, to the extent authorized by his
registration in that other capacity.
(d) Registration to conduct research or instructional activities with
controlled substances in schedules I through V does not entitle a
registrant to conduct research or instructional activities with
controlled substances other than those approved by the controlled
substances advisory committee in accordance with the registration.
Compliance by manufacturers and distributors with the provisions
of the federal law respecting registration (excluding fees) entitles
them to be registered under this article.
