  (1) Maintenance of records.

    (A) Every record required to be kept under §291.34 of this title and under this section shall be:

      (ii) supplied by the provider pharmacy within 72 hours, if requested by an authorized agent of the board. If the pharmacy maintains the records in an electronic format, the requested records must be provided in an electronic format if specifically requested by the board or its representative. Failure to provide the records set out in this section, either on site or within 72 hours, constitutes prima facie evidence of failure to keep and maintain records in violation of the Act.
