(b) The board of pharmacy and the appropriate occupational or professional licensing board governing persons who may legally dispense controlled substances may limit revocation or suspension of a registration to the particular controlled substance with respect to which grounds for revocation or suspension exist. (c) (1) If the board of pharmacy and the appropriate occupational or professional licensing board governing persons who may legally dispense controlled substances suspend or revoke a registration, all controlled substances owned or possessed by the registrant at the time of suspension or the effective date of the revocation order may be placed under seal. (2) 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 for disposition, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit of the proceeds of the sale with the court. (3) Upon a revocation order becoming final, all controlled substances may be forfeited to the state. (d) The board of pharmacy and the appropriate occupational or professional licensing board governing persons who may legally dispense controlled substances shall promptly notify the bureau, as defined in § 39-17-402 , of all orders suspending or revoking registration and all forfeitures of controlled substances.
