CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
In an application hearing, "(t)he applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
board that the applicant meets all requirements for the issuance of a license." S.C. Code Ann. §
40-1-130 (1976, as amended). Thus, the burden of proof in an application for licensure or
certification is on the Applicant to proVide full, complete, and accurate responses to all questions
on the application and to demonstrate that he or she is qualified for the license sought.
In this case, Applicant violated South Carolina Law by shipping drugs into this state
without a non-resident permit. Ms. Riggs could not answer many of the Board's questions as to
why the drugs were shipped to South Carolina without a non-resident permit. THEREFORE; IT IS ORDERED that Applicant's application' for a non-resident
phannacy permit in this State is DENIED.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
