Section 314-55-220 - What is the process once the LCB summarily orders cannabis, useable cannabis, cannabis concentrates, or cannabis-infused products of a cannabis licensee to be destroyed?

(1) The LCB may issue an order to summarily destroy cannabis, useable cannabis, cannabis concentrates, or cannabis-infused products after the LCB's enforcement division has completed a preliminary staff investigation of the violation and upon a determination that immediate destruction of cannabis, useable cannabis, cannabis concentrates, or cannabis-infused products is necessary for the protection or preservation of the public health, safety, or welfare.

(2) Destruction of any cannabis, useable cannabis, cannabis concentrates, or cannabis-infused products under this provision shall take effect immediately upon personal service on the licensee or employee thereof of the summary destruction order unless otherwise provided in the order.

(3) When a license has been issued a summary destruction order by the LCB, an adjudicative proceeding for the associated violation or other action must be promptly instituted before an administrative law judge assigned by the office of administrative hearings. If a request for an administrative hearing is timely filed by the licensee, then a hearing shall be held within 90 days of the effective date of the summary destruction ordered by the LCB.
