The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a registration in any case where the department finds that there has been repeated failure on the part of the consumable hemp establishment to comply with the provisions of this chapter, or for any of the following reasons:

(1) Failure to register. An individual or entity that introduces a consumable hemp product into commerce without a consumable hemp registration approved by the department in accordance with rule 481-32.2(204) (registration and posting) may be denied a consumable hemp registration for a period of up to 30 days for a first violation; up to one year for a second violation; and up to five years for a third or any subsequent violation.

(2) Nonconforming consumable hemp product. A registered consumable hemp establishment that introduces a consumable hemp product into commerce that is not in conformance with Iowa Code chapter 204 or this chapter is subject to the immediate revocation of its registration.

(3) Qualifying criminal offense.

a. The conviction of any individual with an ownership interest in a consumable hemp establishment constituting a felony, serious misdemeanor, or aggravated misdemeanor and resulting from an activity constituting a criminal offense in the consumable hemp establishment may result in the denial, suspension, or revocation of the registration.

b. A conviction for committing a criminal offense involving a controlled substance as described in Iowa Code section 204.7 may result in the denial, suspension, or revocation of the registration.

c. A certified copy of the final order or judgment of conviction or plea of guilty shall be conclusive evidence of the conviction of the registration holder.

d. A deferred judgment, until discharged, shall be considered a conviction for purposes of this rule.

(4) False or misleading information. Providing false or misleading information to the department under this chapter, including by submitting a false registration, may result in the denial, suspension, or revocation of the registration.

(5) Failure to comply. Failing to comply with an order issued by the department under this chapter may result in the denial, suspension, or revocation of the registration.

(6) Successive violations. A third violation of any provision of this chapter in a five-year period shall result in the denial, suspension, or revocation of the registration. The department shall disapprove any registration of a consumable hemp establishment for a five-year period following the date of the last violation.

(7) Materially false information supplied. An individual or entity who materially falsifies any information contained in a consumable hemp registration shall be ineligible for registration.
