Registration: Revocation or Suspension; Grounds

Registration: Revocation or Suspension; Grounds. (a) A registration pursuant to 6 CMC § 2133 to manufacture, distribute, or dispense a controlled substance, may be suspended or revoked by the director upon a finding that the registrant: (1) Has materially falsified any application filed pursuant to this chapter or required by this chapter; (2) Has been convicted of any violation under this chapter or any law of the United States, or of any state or territory, relating to any substance defined in this chapter as a controlled substance; (3) Has had his or her federal registration suspended or revoked by competent federal authority and is no longer authorized by federal law to engage in the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances; (4) Has violated any regulation promulgated by the director relating to this article; or (5) Will abuse or unlawfully transfer such substances or that the registrant will fail to safeguard adequately his supply of such substances against diversion into other than legitimate channels of distribution. (b) The director may limit revocation or suspension of a registration to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation or suspension exists. (c) In the event the director suspends or revokes a registration granted under 6 CMC § 2133 all controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant pursuant to the registration at the time of suspension or the effective date of the revocation order, as the case may be, may in the discretion of the director be placed under seal. No disposition may be made of substances under seal until the time for taking an appeal has elapsed or until all appeals have been concluded unless the court, upon application therefor, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit of the proceeds of the sale with the court. Upon a revocation order becoming final, all such controlled substances shall be forfeited. (d) The Director of Public Safety and the Attorney General shall promptly be notified of all orders suspending or revoking registration and all forfeitures of controlled substances.
