  credit  cards for the sale of any cannabis, cannabis product, or medical
  cannabis for which it is registered, licensed or permitted  to  dispense
  or  sell  to  patients  or cannabis consumers. This includes, but is not

  director of any corporation  or  organization  holding  a  registration,
  license,  or  permit  refuse,  to appear and/or testify under oath at an
  inquiry or hearing held by the board, with respect to any matter bearing
  upon the registration, license, or permit, the conduct of any people  at
  the  licensed premises, or bearing upon the character or fitness of such
  registrant,  licensee,  or  permittee,  or  other   entity   under   the
  jurisdiction  of  the  board,  to  continue  to  hold  any registration,
  license, or permit. Nor shall any of the  above  offer  false  testimony
  under oath at such inquiry or hearing.

  held strictly accountable for any and all violations that occur upon any
  registered,  licensed,  or  permitted  premises,  and  for  any  and all
  violations committed by or permitted by any manager, agent  or  employee
  of such registered, licensed, or permitted person.
9.  As  it is a privilege under the law to be registered, licensed, or
  permitted to cultivate, process, distribute, or sell cannabis, the board
  may impose any such further restrictions upon any registrant,  licensee,
  or  permittee  in  particular instances as it deems necessary to further
  state policy and best serve the public interest. A violation or  failure
  of  any  person  registered,  licensed,  or permitted to comply with any
  condition, stipulation,  or  agreement,  upon  which  any  registration,
  license, or permit was issued or renewed by the board may, in accordance
  with  this  chapter  subject  the  registrant, licensee, or permittee to
  suspension,  cancellation,  revocation,  and/or   civil   penalties   in
  accordance with this chapter, as determined by the board.
10.  No  adult-use cannabis or medical cannabis may be imported to, or
  exported out of, New York state by a registered  organization,  licensee
  or  person  holding  a  license  and/or permit pursuant to this chapter,
  until such time as it may become legal  to  do  so  under  federal  law.
  Should  it  become  legal  to  do  so  under  federal law, the board may
  promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary  to  protect
  the  public  and  the  policy of the state, including but not limited to
  prioritize and promote New York cannabis. Further, all such cannabis  or
  cannabis  products  must  be distributed in a manner consistent with the
  provisions of this chapter.
11. No  registered  organization,  licensee  or  any  of  its  agents,
  servants  or  employees  shall  sell  any  cannabis  product, or medical
  cannabis from house to house by means of a truck or otherwise, where the
  sale is consummated and delivery made concurrently at the  residence  or
  place  of  business  of  a cannabis consumer. This subdivision shall not
  prohibit the delivery by a registered organization to certified patients
  or their designated  caregivers,  pursuant  to  article  three  of  this
  chapter.
12.  No  licensee  shall  employ  any  canvasser  or solicitor for the
  purpose of receiving an  order  from  a  certified  patient,  designated
  caregiver  or  cannabis  consumer  for  any cannabis product, or medical
  cannabis at  the  residence  or  place  of  business  of  such  patient,
  caregiver  or  consumer,  nor  shall  any licensee receive or accept any
  order, for the sale of any cannabis product, or medical  cannabis  which
  shall  be  solicited at the residence or place of business of a patient,
  caregiver  or  consumer.  This  subdivision  shall  not   prohibit   the
  solicitation  by  a  distributor  of  an  order from any licensee at the
  licensed premises of such licensee.
