(2) Persons registered by the board under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980 to manufacture, deliver, dispense or conduct research with controlled substances may possess, manufacture, deliver, dispense or conduct research with those substances to the extent authorized by their registration and in conformity with the other provisions of ORS 475.095 and 475.125 to 475.185 and other applicable laws of this state.

(3) The following persons need not register and may lawfully possess controlled substances under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980:

(a) An agent or employee of any registered manufacturer, distributor or dispenser of any controlled substance if the agent or employee is acting in the usual course of business or employment.

(4) The board may waive by rule the requirement for registration of certain manufacturers or dispensers if it finds it consistent with the public health and safety.

(6) The board may inspect the establishment of a registrant or applicant for registration in accordance with the rules of the board. [1977 c.745 §8; 1995 c.440 §24; 2011 c.524 §23]

475.130 [Repealed by 1957 c.587 §12]

475.135 Grounds to grant or deny registration; scope of registration; effect of federal registration. (1) The State Board of Pharmacy shall register or renew the registration of an applicant to manufacture or dispense controlled substances included in schedules under procedures defined in ORS 475.035, 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 the following factors:

(a) Failure to maintain effective controls against diversion of controlled substances into other than legitimate medical, scientific or industrial channels;

(b) Failure to comply with applicable state or local laws;

(d) Past experience in the manufacture, delivery or dispensing of controlled substances and the existence in the applicant’s establishment of effective controls against diversion;

(e) Furnishing by the applicant of false or fraudulent material in any application filed under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980;

(f) Suspension or revocation of the applicant’s federal registration to manufacture, deliver or dispense controlled substances as authorized by federal law; or

(3) Practitioners must be registered to conduct research with controlled substances in Schedules I through V if they are authorized to conduct research under the law of this state. The board need not require separate registration under ORS 475.095 and 475.125 to 475.185 for practitioners engaging in research with controlled substances in Schedules I through V where the registrant is already registered under ORS 475.095 and 475.125 to 475.185 in another capacity. Persons with valid registration from the Drug Enforcement Administration for research on controlled substances may conduct research within this state in compliance with other state law upon furnishing the board evidence of that federal registration, and are exempt from state prosecution for possession and distribution of controlled substances to the extent of the registration. Registration under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980 does not exempt the registrant from compliance with any other relevant law of this state or the United States, unless such exemption is expressly provided under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980.

(4) Notwithstanding this section, the manufacture, delivery or dispensing of any controlled substance excluded from any medical use by federal law is prohibited, except:

(a) For research authorized under subsection (3) of this section and ORS 475.225; or

(b) As otherwise provided by state or federal law.

(5) Compliance by manufacturers and distributors with the provisions of the federal law respecting registration, excluding fees, entitles them to be registered under ORS 475.095 and 475.125 to 475.185. [1977 c.745 §9; 1979 c.777 §53; 1981 c.666 §5; 1995 c.440 §25; 2011 c.524 §24]

475.145 Revocation and suspension of registration. (1) A registration under ORS 475.135 to manufacture, deliver or dispense a controlled substance may be suspended or revoked by the State Board of Pharmacy upon a finding that:

(a) The registrant has furnished false or fraudulent material information in any application filed under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980;

(b) The registrant has been convicted of a felony under any state or federal law relating to any controlled substance;

(c) The registrant has had the federal registration suspended or revoked to manufacture, deliver or dispense controlled substances;

(d) The registrant has violated any rule of the board under ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980;

(e) The registrant has failed to maintain proper records or has failed to follow proper refill procedures; or

(f) Continuance of registration would be inconsistent with the public interest under any factor stated in ORS 475.135.

(2) The board may limit revocation or suspension of a registration to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation or suspension exist.

(2) The board may suspend, without an order to show cause, any registration simultaneously with the institution of proceedings under ORS 475.145 or where renewal of registration is refused, if it finds that there is an imminent danger to the public health or safety which warrants this action.
