HRS §329-34
When the state can take away a controlled substance registration
The Department of Public Safety can suspend or revoke a registration to make, sell, or handle controlled substances if the registrant lied, was convicted of a drug-related felony, lost their federal registration, or lost their state professional license. The department can limit the action to one drug, seal the substances, and forfeit them to the state after the order is final. The department must notify the Bureau of any suspension, revocation, or forfeiture.
