Section 475:20-1-3 - Physical security controls for nonpractitioners; storage areas

(a) Physical security controls for nonpractitioners and storage areas shall comply with Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations §1301.72.

(b) Physical security controls for all medical marijuana businesses (dispensaries, growers, processors, etc.) shall, at a minimum, meet the following requirements for each medical marijuana storage area:

(1) Each registered premise shall have a security alarm system which upon unauthorized entry shall transmit a signal directly to a central station protection agency or a local or state police agency, each having a legal duty to respond, or to a 24-hour control station operated by the registrant, or to such other source of protection as the Director may approve.

(2) All controlled dangerous substance storage areas shall be equipped with self-closing, self-locking doors constructed of substantial material commensurate with the type of building construction, provided, however, a door which is kept closed and locked at all times when not in use and when in use is kept under direct observation of a responsible employee or agent of the registrant is permitted in lieu of a self-closing, self-locking door. Doors may be sliding or hinged. If door hinges are mounted on the outside, such hinges shall be sealed, welded or otherwise constructed to inhibit removal. Locking devices for such doors shall be either of the multiple-position combination, keyless entry, or key lock type and;

(A) In the case of key locks, shall require key control which limits access to a limited number of employees, or;

(B) In the case of multiple-position combination or keyless entry systems, the system shall be limited to a minimum number of employees and can be changed upon termination of employment of an employee having knowledge of the combination.

(3) The controlled dangerous substance storage areas shall be accessible only to an absolute minimum number of authorized employees. When it is necessary for employee maintenance personnel, nonemployee maintenance personnel, business guests, or visitors to be present in or pass through a controlled dangerous substance storage area, the registrant shall provide for adequate observation of the area by an employee specifically authorized in writing.

(c) All finished, processed, or packaged medical marijuana must be stored in a secure, locked storage area, such as a closet, cabinet, safe, or vault, and in such a manner as to prevent diversion, theft, or loss. All safes and cabinets must be made of substantially constructed steel. If the safe or cabinet weighs less than 750 pounds, it must be bolted or cemented to the floor in such a way that it cannot be removed. Hinges and locks on the cabinets and safes must meet the requirements set forth in subsection (b) of this section.
