The legislation requires pain clinics to register every two years, and if they fail to do so, their owners could face felony charges. The state’s medical board can also deny licensing to a pain clinic for a number of reasons, including an owner’s prior criminal conviction related to controlled substances.

The law will go into effect on July 1, according to the report.
