37-7-321. Certified pharmacy license. (1) The board shall provide for the original certification and renewal by the board of every pharmacy doing business in this state. On presentation of evidence satisfactory to the board and on application on a form prescribed by the board and on the payment of an original certification fee prescribed by the board, the board shall issue a license to a pharmacy as a certified pharmacy. However, the license may be granted only to pharmacies operated by registered pharmacists qualified under this chapter. The renewal fee for a pharmacy must be set by the board. Any default in the payment of the renewal fee after the date the fee is due increases the renewal fee as prescribed by the board. The license must be displayed in a conspicuous place in the pharmacy for which it is issued and expires on the date set by board rule. It is unlawful for a person to conduct a pharmacy, use the word "pharmacy" to identify the business, or use the word "pharmacy" in advertising unless a license has been issued and is in effect.
     (2) The board may impose discipline or deny or refuse to renew a pharmacy license for reasons specified in and subject to conditions specified in Title 37, chapter 1.
