   4. (d) Set forth the circumstances under which a hold order may be terminated. Such circumstances must include, without limitation, for cannabis or a cannabis product subject to a hold order because of the failure of any test conducted by a cannabis independent testing laboratory, the passing of that test upon retesting of the cannabis or cannabis product.
   5. (e) Require the Board to publish guidelines concerning hold orders which are based on investigations conducted by the Board relating to such hold orders.
3. 3. A person shall not transfer or move any cannabis or cannabis product for which a hold order has been issued pursuant to the regulations adopted pursuant to this section without the approval of the Board or an agent of the Board.
