(1) Purchase, possess and administer, through its authorized agents, drugs for euthanasia.
(2) Transfer drugs for euthanasia to a currently licensed euthanasia technician or veterinarian who is employed by or under contract with the certificate holder to provide euthanasia to small domestic animals for the purpose of administration to small domestic animals, provided, however, that the drugs for euthanasia may only be used to provide euthanasia at the shelter.
(3) Dispose of drugs for euthanasia in accordance with law.
(b) A certificate holder may not do any of the following:

(2) Transfer a drug for euthanasia to anyone other than a currently licensed euthanasia technician or veterinarian employed by or under contract with the animal protection organization to provide euthanasia on the premises of the certificate holder.
(3) Authorize, permit or allow any drug for euthanasia purchased or possessed by the certificate holder under the authority of ADMAL to leave the premises of the shelter.
(4) Authorize, permit or allow the disposal of drugs for euthanasia in any manner other than that required by law.
(5) Authorize, permit or allow any other individual or animal protection organization to use the certificate holder’s certificate of registration issued by the Board or DEA Certificate of Registration to purchase, possess, administer or transfer a drug for euthanasia or any other controlled substance or legend drug.
