Iowa Code § 124.304 - Revocation, suspension, or restriction of registration

1. The board may suspend, revoke, or restrict a registration under section 124.303, or otherwise discipline a registrant, 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 or any other chapter which applies to the registrant or the registrant’s practice. b. The registrant has had the registrant’s federal registration to manufacture, distribute, dispense, or conduct research with 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, suspension, or restriction of a registration or discipline of a registrant to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation, suspension, restriction, or discipline exist. 3. If the board suspends, revokes, or restricts a registration, or otherwise disciplines a registrant, all controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant at the time of the suspension, revocation, restriction, or discipline, or at the time of the effective date of the 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 an 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, revoking, or restricting a registration, or otherwise disciplining a registrant.
