§60A-8-11. The West Virginia board of pharmacy inspection powers
and access to wholesale drug distributor records.
(a) A person authorized by the board may inspect during normal
business hours any premises being used by a wholesale drug
distributor in this state in the course of its business. Any
wholesale drug distributor providing adequate documentation of the
most recent satisfactory inspection less than three years old of
such distributor's wholesale drug distribution activities and
facilities by either the food and drug administration or a state
agency, or any person or entity lawfully designated by a state
agency to perform such inspection, determined to be comparable by
the board shall be exempt from further inspection for a period of
time to be determined by the board of pharmacy. Such exemption
shall not bar the board from initiating an investigation pursuant
to a public or governmental complaint received by the board
regarding a wholesale drug distributor.
(b) Wholesale drug distributors may keep records regarding
purchase and sales transactions at a central location apart from
the principal office of the wholesale drug distributor or the
location at which the drugs were stored and from which they were
shipped: Provided, That such records shall be made available for
inspection within two working days after a request to inspect by
the board is made. Such records may be kept in any form
permissible under federal law applicable to prescription drugs
record keeping.
