The state board of pharmacy and the appropriate occupational or professional licensing board governing persons who may legally dispense controlled substances shall register an applicant to manufacture or distribute controlled substances included in title 39, chapter 17, part 4, unless it determines that the issuance of that registration would be inconsistent with the public interest. In determining the public interest, the board of pharmacy and the appropriate occupational or professional licensing board governing persons who may legally dispense controlled substances shall consider the following factors:
Maintenance of effective controls against diversion of controlled substances into other than legitimate medical, scientific or industrial channels;
Compliance with applicable state and local law;
Any convictions of the applicant under any federal and state laws relating to any controlled substance;
Past experience in the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances, and the existence in the applicant's establishment of effective controls against diversion;
Furnishing by the applicant of false or fraudulent material in any application filed under this part and part 4 of this chapter, or title 39, chapter 17, part 4;
Suspension or revocation of the applicant's federal registration to manufacture, distribute or dispense controlled substances as authorized by federal law; and
Any other factors relevant to and consistent with the public health and safety.
Registration under subsection (a) does not entitle a registrant to manufacture and distribute controlled substances in Schedule I, II or VI other than those specified in the registration.
Practitioners must be registered to dispense any controlled substances in Schedules II through V if they are authorized to dispense under the law of this state.
Compliance by manufacturers and distributors with the federal law respecting registration, excluding fees, entitles them to be registered under this part, part 4 of this chapter and title 39, chapter 17, part 4.
