Okla. Admin. Code § 475:10-1-20 - [Effective until 9/14/2025] Modification of registration

(a) Any registrant may apply to modify the registration to authorize the handling of additional controlled dangerous substances by submitting a request to the Registration Division of the OBN. The request shall contain the registrant's name, address, state and federal registration numbers as printed on the registrant's State of Oklahoma and Federal Certificates of Registration, the substances and/or schedules to be added to the registration, and shall be certified by the registrant. If the registrant is seeking to handle additional controlled dangerous substances listed in Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act for the purpose of analytical laboratory activities, scientific research, or institutional instructional activities, the registrant shall attach one (1) copy of the protocol describing each anticipated activity involved with the additional substances or, in the event of institutional instructional activities, a statement describing the nature, extent, and duration of such institutional instructional activity, as appropriate. No fee shall be required to be paid for the modification.

(b) Change of name, address, or ownership shall require a new registration for all businesses. Notice shall be submitted using the online registration portal at the same time changes are submitted to the professional or occupational licensing board or authority. Failure to notify the Bureau of pending changes or making changes prior to approval by the Bureau may result in the automatic termination of the original registration pursuant to 63 O.S. § 2-302(L) in addition to other administrative or criminal penalty.

(1) A change of ownership occurs when:

(A) Any new beneficial owner, not previously recorded on the registration, is added to the business; or

(B) A change in the form of ownership occurs (for example, from a sole proprietor ownership to a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation).

(2) For publicly traded corporations, a routine sale of stock is not a change of ownership. (Note: a publicly traded corporation is a corporation owned by stockholders who are members of the general public and who trade shares publicly, often through a listing on a stock exchange. Publicly traded corporations do not include any entity engaged in activities involving federally prohibited substances.)

(3) A change to the registered business name as a result of government entities making changes to the name or to correct typographical errors does not require a new registration.

(c) Any change in the existing ownership structure of a registered entity shall be reported to the OBN Registration Division within one (1) business day. Publicly traded entities shall report any change to the Board of Directors, Officers, or other similar controlling body or persons, but shall only require a new registration when the ownership of an individually registered location changes inside the lowest two levels of the publicly traded entity.

(d) OBN registrations are only valid for the individual or entity to which the registration is issued including all beneficial owners of a registered entity or business. An OBN registration shall never be utilized by another individual or entity unless specifically authorized to do so by this Title or the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act. This provision shall be strictly construed to guard against theft and diversion of controlled dangerous substances.
