KRS 315.410: Order to cease distribution of prescription drugs -- Hearing.

(1) The board shall issue an order to the appropriate person or entity, including but not

limited to wholesale distributors or retailers, to immediately cease distribution of

prescription drugs within the Commonwealth if there are reasonable grounds to

believe:

(a) 1. The distribution of the prescription drug is in violation of KRS 315.406;

2. The prescription drug is accompanied by a falsified pedigree in violation

of KRS 315.406; or

3. The prescription drug is a counterfeit prescription drug; and

(b) Other procedures to intercede would result in an unreasonable delay.

(2) A person in receipt of an order to cease distribution shall be notified in writing of

the right to an administrative hearing to be conducted in accordance with KRS

Chapter 13B no later than ten (10) days, excluding weekends and holidays, after the

date of the order. If, after a hearing is conducted, the hearing officer determines that

there are inadequate grounds to support the order, the order shall be vacated.
