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

Sec. 5. (a) An application for registration or re-registration submitted pursuant to and a registration issued under section 3 of this chapter to manufacture, distribute, or dispense a controlled substance may be denied, suspended, or revoked by the board upon a finding by the advisory committee that the applicant or registrant:
(1) has furnished false or fraudulent material information in any application filed under this article;
(2) has violated any state or federal law relating to any controlled substance;
(3) has had his federal registration suspended or revoked to manufacture, distribute, or dispense controlled substances; or
(4) has failed to maintain reasonable controls against diversion of controlled substances into other than legitimate medical, scientific, or industrial channels.
(b) The board may limit revocation or suspension of a registration or the denial of an application for registration or re-registration to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation, suspension, or denial exist.
(c) If the board suspends or revokes a registration or denies an application for re-registration, all controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant at the time of suspension or the effective date of the revocation or denial order may be placed under seal. The board may require the removal of such substances from the premises. 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 a court, upon application therefore, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit of the proceeds of the sale with the court. Upon a revocation or denial order becoming final, all controlled substances may be forfeited to the state.
(d) The board shall promptly notify the drug enforcement administration of all orders suspending or revoking registration, all orders denying any application for registration or re-registration, and all forfeitures of controlled substances.

Order to show cause
Sec. 6. (a) Before recommending a denial, suspension, or revocation of a registration, or before refusing a renewal of registration, the advisory committee shall serve upon the applicant or registrant an order to show cause why registration should not be
denied, revoked, or suspended, or why the renewal should not be denied. The order to show cause shall contain a statement of the basis therefor and shall call upon the applicant or registrant to appear before the advisory committee at a time and place not less than thirty (30) days after the date of service of the order, but in the case of a
denial or renewal of registration the show cause order shall be served not later than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the registration. These proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with IC 4-21.5 without regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding. Proceedings to refuse renewal of registration shall not abate the existing registration which shall remain in effect pending the outcome of the administrative hearing.
(b) The advisory committee may recommend suspension, and the board may suspend, without an order to show cause, any registration simultaneously with the institution of proceedings under section 4 of this chapter, 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. The suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the board or dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) If an applicant for re-registration (who is doing business under a registration previously granted and not revoked nor suspended) has applied for re-registration at least forty-five (45) days before the date on which the existing registration is due to expire, the existing registration of the applicant shall automatically be extended and continue in effect until the date on which the board so issues its order. The board may extend any other existing registration under the circumstances contemplated in this section even though the registrant failed to apply for re-registration at least forty-five (45) days before
expiration of the existing registration, with or without request by the registrant, if the board finds that such extension is not inconsistent with the public health and safety.

necessary or appropriate for maintenance therapy;
