R.I. Gen. Laws § 5-19.1-12
The owner of each and every place of business that manufactures legend drugs within this state, and any person who manufactures legend drugs outside this state for distribution within this state, shall be licensed by the department. The owner shall pay a license fee to be determined by the director, and thereafter, on or before a date to be determined by the director, a fee to be determined by the director, for which the owner shall receive a license of location from the director. The license shall entitle the owner to manufacture drugs at the specified location for the period ending on a date to be determined by the board, and each such owner shall at the time of payment of such fee file with the department, on a provided form, a declaration of ownership and location. The declaration of ownership and location so filed as aforesaid shall be deemed presumptive evidence of the ownership of such place of business mentioned in the form. A license issued pursuant to this section shall be the property of the state and loaned to the licensee, and it shall be kept posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed premises. It shall be the duty of the owner to immediately notify the department of any proposed change of location or ownership. In the event such license fee remains unpaid on the date due, no renewal or new license shall be issued except upon payment of the license renewal fee. A license shall be issued to the owner and premise listed on the form and shall not be transferred. If a change in owner or premise listed on said form occurs, the license becomes null and void.
