1. A. Prescription drugs or medical supplies may not be accepted for dispensing if the prescription drugs or medical supplies:

   1. (1) Bear an expiration date that is less than 90 days from the date the drug is donated to ensure the potency and quality of the prescription drugs or medical supplies;
   2. (2) Have been adulterated, according to the standards of Health-General Article, §21-216, Annotated Code of Maryland, because adulterated prescription drugs or medical supplies have been determined to be a threat to public health;
   3. (3) Are designated controlled dangerous substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration which has determined that controlled dangerous substances may not be donated under a repository program;
   4. (4) Require refrigeration because the potency and quality may not be guaranteed; or
