  1. OK Code
  2. Title 63

A. Prescriptions, orders, and records, required by this act,

and stock of substances specified in this act shall be open for

inspection only to specifically designated or assigned state,

county, and municipal officers, whose duty it is to enforce the laws

of this state relating to controlled dangerous substances. The

Director of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous

Drugs Control may designate noncommissioned personnel as compliance

inspectors for the purpose of conducting inspections as contemplated

herein. No person having knowledge by virtue of his or her office

of any such prescription, order or record shall divulge such

knowledge, except where such use is appropriate to the proper

performance of his or her official duties in the prevention of the

misuse and abuse of controlled dangerous substances or in connection

with a prosecution or proceeding in court or before a licensing or

registration board or officer, to which prosecution or proceeding

the person to whom such prescriptions, orders, or records relate is

a party.

B. Any peace officer or agency charged with administration of

this act is authorized to make administrative inspections of

controlled premises in accordance with the following provisions:

1. For purposes of this act only, "controlled premises" means:

a. places where persons registered or exempted from

registration requirements under this act are required

to keep records, and

b. places including factories, warehouses,

establishments, and conveyances where persons

registered or exempted from registration requirements

under this act are permitted to hold, manufacture,

compound, process, sell, deliver, or otherwise dispose

of any controlled dangerous substance.

2. This section shall not be construed to prevent the

inspection of books and records pursuant to the provisions of this

act; nor shall this section be construed to prevent entries and

administrative inspections at reasonable times without a warrant:

a. with the consent of the owner, operator, or agent in

charge of the controlled premises,

b. in situations presenting imminent danger to health or

safety,

c. in situations involving inspection of conveyances

where there is reasonable cause to believe that the

mobility of the conveyance makes it impracticable to

obtain a warrant,

d. in any other exceptional or emergency circumstance

where time or opportunity to apply for a warrant is

lacking, and

e. in all other situations where a warrant is not

constitutionally required.

3. Except when the owner, operator, or agent in charge of the

controlled premises so consents in writing, no inspection authorized

by this section shall extend to:

a. financial data,

b. sales data other than shipment data, or

c. pricing data.
