(5) A change of ownership or location requires a new application, fee and registration within 15 days of the change .
(6) The registration certificate is issued to a person or firm and is non-transferable. Additions or deletions of a partner/partners shall be considered as a change of ownership.
(7) The registration fee cannot be prorated.
(8) No nonprescription drug or medical gas authorized to be sold at retail under this registration shall be sold, given away, or otherwise disposed of until application has been approved and a certificate of registration issued. There shall be four types of drug outlet registrations:
(a) Class A shall be for all outlets except those that own more than one vending machine distributing more than six nonprescription drugs.
(b) Class B shall be for all outlets except those that own more than one vending machine distributing six or less nonprescription drugs.
(c) Class C shall be for all outlets distributing medicinal gases.
(d) Class D shall be for all outlets with more than one vending machine distributing nonprescription drugs.
(e) Class E shall be for any nonprofit, tax exempt, food distribution facility that distributes food products and nonprescription drugs at no cost, other than nominal delivery charges, to charitable organizations including regional food banks, for distribution at no cost to individuals. This registration, which shall be issued at no cost to the registrant, expires on January 31st annually.
Explanation: The intention of this section is that an owner of a single vending machine that contains over-the-counter medications can register as either a Class A or Class B outlet based on the number of medications in the machine. The owner of more than one vending machine that contains over-the-counter medications shall register as a Class D outlet and inform the Board of their locations. Class E registration is intended for the Oregon Food Bank and other regional food banks located in Oregon.
(9) If there is more than one drug outlet under the same roof and each outlet is independently operated by different owners, a separate registration shall be obtained for each outlet.
(10) In case of loss of the certificate of registration, the Board may require a sworn statement before a notary public to be filed in the Board office before duplicate certificates of registration can be issued.
(11) Each vending machine that contains nonprescription drugs must have an obvious and legible statement on the machine that identifies the owner of the machine, advises the customer to check the expiration date of the product before using, and lists the phone number for the Board of Pharmacy.
(12) A Class D nonprescription drug outlet shall keep the Board informed in writing of the current location of all of its vending machines.
(13) Notwithstanding the requirements of this rule and the other rules in this Division, upon written request the Board may waive any of the requirements of this rule or the other rules in this Division if a waiver will further public health and safety. A waiver granted under this section shall only be effective when it is issued in writing.
