Rule 22-C5613 - TEMPORARY SURRENDER OF REGISTRATION-SAFEKEEPING

5613.1

A registered cultivation center, dispensary, or testing laboratory that discontinues its operations for any reason shall surrender its registration to the Board for safekeeping within three (3) calendar days of discontinuing its operations. The Board shall hold the registration for one hundred twenty (120) days or until the establishment resumes business whichever occurs first. If the registrant has not initiated proceedings to resume operations within one hundred twenty (120) days, the Board shall deem the registration abandoned and cancel the registration.

5613.2

The Board may extend the period of safekeeping beyond one hundred twenty (120) days only for good cause, such as fire, flood, other natural disaster; rebuilding or reconstruction; or to complete the sale of the establishment, and only if the extension is not likely to adversely affect the District's ability to serve the needs of all registered qualifying patients.

5613.3

This section shall not relieve a registered cultivation center, dispensary, or testing laboratory from the responsibility for renewing the registration upon its expiration.

5613.4

If a cultivation center, dispensary, or testing laboratory notifies the Board that the establishment has ceased to do business under the registration or if the Department cancels the registration under this section, the registration shall be marked as "cancelled."
