Under what circumstance can the license of a retail drug outlet be terminated?

The correct choice is focused on the aspect of a sole proprietor changing location, which is a critical factor in the operation of a retail drug outlet. In many states, including Vermont, a retail drug outlet's license is often closely tied to its specific location. When a sole proprietor moves the pharmacy to a different site, that new location would typically require a new license to ensure compliance with state regulations governing the practice of pharmacy.

This process helps to maintain compliance with various local, state, and federal guidelines regarding pharmacy practices, including zoning laws, the establishment's physical security, and the storage of medications. Failure to obtain a new license after relocating can lead to the termination of the existing license, as it may not legally apply to the new location.

The other options, while important in their own contexts, do not generally result in the automatic termination of the retail drug outlet's license. For example, changing a pharmacist-manager does require notification and possibly a review, but it doesn't inherently negate the right to operate at the original location. Similarly, incomplete records can lead to penalties or disciplinary actions but wouldn't necessarily result in outright termination of the licenses unless the issues persist and violate regulatory requirements. Lastly, having insufficient stock may affect operations but does not constitute a basis for termination
