How soon must the board be notified of termination or selling of business related to CS inventory?

The requirement to notify the board about the termination or sale of a business related to controlled substance (CS) inventory is set at a specific timeframe to ensure proper oversight and management of potentially sensitive and regulated substances. In Alabama, the law stipulates that the board must be informed within 10 days before or after the termination or transfer of ownership of the business. This timeframe allows the board to monitor and maintain accurate records of controlled substances, ensuring compliance with regulations designed to prevent misuse and maintain public safety.

This notification process is crucial because it helps regulate the distribution and ownership of controlled substances, maintaining a chain of accountability from the original business to any new owners or operators. Timely notification also helps avoid potential gaps in compliance that could arise during a business transition, ensuring that all legal requirements are fulfilled and that the controlled substances are managed responsibly throughout the process.
