Section 19-24.1-17 - Compassion centers - Registration certificates nontransferable - Notification of changes1. Upon application of a compassion center to the department, a registration certificate of a compassion center may be amended to authorize a change in the authorized physical location of the compassion center, or to amend the ownership or organizational structure of the compassion center with the registration certificate. A compassion center shall provide the department written notice of any change described under this section at least sixty calendar days before the proposed effective date of the change.2. A registration certificate authorizing the operation of a compassion center is void by a change in ownership, substantial corporate change, change in location, or discontinued operation, without prior approval of the department. The department may adopt rules allowing for certain types of changes in ownership without the need for prior written approval from the department.3. The department shall authorize the use of additional structures located within five hundred feet [152.40 meters] of the location described in the original application, unless the department makes an affirmative finding the use of additional structures would jeopardize public health or safety or would result in the cannabis business being within one thousand feet [304.80 meters] of a property line of a pre-existing public or private school. The department may waive all or part of the required advance notice to address emergent or emergency situations.Amended by S.L. 2021, ch. 172 (HB 1213),§ 18, eff. 5/3/2021.Amended by S.L. 2019, ch. 194 (SB 2210),§ 1, eff. 3/29/2019.Added by S.L. 2017, ch. 171 (SB 2344),§ 1, eff. 4/18/2017.
