(2) Allow law enforcement to deliver seized drugs to public hospitals that apply for them; and



(3) Allow the Department of Health and Senior Services to place under seal all of the controlled substances possessed by a registered drug manufacturer or distributor, when the department

suspends or revokes the company's registration.
