124.304 - REVOCATION, SUSPENSION, OR RESTRICTION OF REGISTRATION.

        124.304  REVOCATION, SUSPENSION, OR RESTRICTION OF
      REGISTRATION.
         1.  The board may suspend, revoke, or restrict a registration
      under section 124.303 to manufacture, distribute, or dispense a
      controlled substance upon a finding that any of the following apply
      to the registrant:
         a.  The registrant has furnished false or fraudulent material
      information in any application filed under this chapter.
         b.  The registrant has had the registrant's federal
      registration to manufacture, distribute, or dispense controlled
      substances suspended, revoked, or restricted.
         c.  The registrant has been convicted of a public offense
      under any state or federal law relating to any controlled substance.
      For the purpose of this section only, a conviction shall include a
      plea of guilty, a forfeiture of bail or collateral deposited to
      secure a defendant's appearance in court which forfeiture has not
      been vacated, or a finding of guilt in a criminal action even though
      the entry of the judgment or sentence has been withheld and the
      individual placed on probation.
         d.  The registrant has committed such acts as would render the
      registrant's registration under section 124.303 inconsistent with the
      public interest as determined under that section.
         e.  If the registrant is a licensed health care professional,
      the registrant has had the registrant's professional license revoked
      or suspended or has been otherwise disciplined in a way that
      restricts the registrant's authority to handle or prescribe
      controlled substances.
         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.
         3.  If the board suspends or revokes a registration, all
      controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant at the
      time of suspension or the effective date of the revocation order may
      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 a court, upon application, 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 may be forfeited to the state.
         4.  The board shall promptly notify the bureau and the department
      of all orders suspending or revoking registration and all forfeitures
      of controlled substances.
