Inspection powers and access to wholesale drug distributor records - Penalty
N.D. Cent. Code § 43-15.1-09
in effect43-15.1-09. Inspection powers and access to wholesale drug distributor records -
Penalty.
The board or a designee of the board may conduct inspections during normal business
hours upon all open premises purporting or appearing to be used by a wholesale drug
distributor or wholesale pharmacy distributor in this state. A distributor who provides adequate
documentation of the most recent satisfactory inspection less than three years old by either the
United States food and drug administration or a state agency determined to be comparable by
the board is exempt from further inspection for a period of time determined by the board. This
exemption does not bar the board from initiating an investigation pursuant to a complaint
regarding a wholesale drug distributor or pharmacy distributor. A wholesale drug distributor may
keep records at a central location apart from the principal office of the wholesale drug distributor
or the location at which the drugs were stored and from which they were shipped; provided, that
the records are made available for inspection within three business days of a request by the
board. The records may be kept in any form permissible under federal law applicable to
prescription drugs recordkeeping. A person who fails to provide a duly authorized person the
right of entry as provided in this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor for the first conviction
and a class C felony for each subsequent conviction.
