(e)  In the event the Department suspends or revokes a registra-
tion granted under Section 281, all controlled dangerous substances
owned or possessed by the registrant pursuant to such registration
at the time of suspension or the effective date of the revocation
order, as the case may be, may in the discretion of the Department
be placed under seal. No disposition may be made of substances
under seal until the time for taking an appeal has elapsed or until
all appeals have been concluded unless the court, upon application
therefor, orders the sale of perishable substances and the deposit
of the proceeds of the sale with the court. Upon a revocation order
becoming final, all such controlled dangerous substances shall be
forfeited to the State.

(f)  The Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs shall promptly
be notified of all orders suspending or revoking registration and all
forfeitures of controlled dangerous substances.

283. Records of Registrants:

Upon the effective date of this Act, each registrant manufacturing,
distributing or dispensing controlled dangerous substances in Sched-
ules I, II, III, or IV shall make a complete and accurate record of
all stocks of such dangerous substances on hand. Thereafter, com-
plete and accurate records of all such dangerous substances shall be
maintained for two years. Each two year period after the effective
date of this Act, at the time of his regular fiscal inventory, each
registrant manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing controlled
dangerous substances shall prepare an inventory of each dangerous
substance in his possession. Records and inventories shall contain
such information as shall be provided by rules and regulations pro-
mulgated by the Department. This subsection shall not apply to
practitioners who lawfully prescribe or administer, but not otherwise
dispense, controlled dangerous substances listed in Schedules II, III,
or IV of this subheading. Compliance with the provisions of the
Federal law respecting records and reports shall be deemed com-
pliance with this section.

284. Order Forms:

Controlled dangerous substances in Schedules I and II shall be
distributed only by a registrant, pursuant to an order form. Com-
pliance with the provisions of the Federal law respecting order forms
for these schedules shall be deemed compliance with this section.

285. Prescriptions:

(a) Except when dispensed directly by a practitioner, other than
a pharmacist, to an ultimate user, no controlled dangerous substance
included in Schedule II, which is a prescription drug as determined
under Article 43, may be dispensed without the written prescription
of a practitioner: Provided, that in emergency situations, as pre-
scribed by the Department by regulation, such drug may be dis-
pensed upon oral prescription reduced promptly to writing and filed
by the pharmacist, if such oral prescription is authorized by Federal
law. Prescriptions shall be retained in conformity with the require-
ments of Section 282 of this subheading, as amended from time to
time. No prescription for a Schedule II substance may be refilled.
