Official statutory text
(1) The board shall register an applicant to manufacture or distribute controlled substances included in sections 124.204, 124.206, 124.208, 124.210 and 124.212 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 all of the following factors:
(1) (a) Maintenance of effective controls against diversion of controlled substances into other than legitimate medical, scientific, or industrial channels.
(1) (b) Compliance with applicable state and local law.
(1) (c) Any convictions of the applicant under any federal and state laws relating to any controlled substance.
(1) (d) Past experience in the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances, and the existence in the applicant’s establishment of effective controls against diversion.
(1) (e) Furnishing by the applicant of false or fraudulent material in any application filed under this chapter.
(1) (f) Suspension or revocation of the applicant’s federal registration to manufacture, distribute, or dispense controlled substances as authorized by federal law.
(1) (g) Any other factors relevant to and consistent with the public health and safety.
(2) Registration under subsection 1 of this section does not entitle a registrant to manufacture and distribute controlled substances in schedule I or II other than those specified in the registration.
(3) Practitioners shall 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 subchapter for practitioners engaging in research with nonnarcotic controlled substances in schedules II through V where the registrant is already registered under this subchapter in another capacity. Practitioners registered under federal law to conduct research with schedule I substances may conduct research in schedule I substances within this state upon furnishing the board evidence of the federal registration.
(4) Compliance by manufacturers and distributors with the provisions of the federal law respecting registration, excluding fees, entitles them to be registered under this chapter.
