Section 3.306.455. Required laboratory testing.

	(a)  A marijuana cultivation facility shall provide a sample of each harvest batch of marijuana produced at the facility to a marijuana testing facility and may not sell or transport any marijuana until all laboratory testing required under 3 AAC 306.645 has been completed.  
	(b)  To comply with (a) of this section, a marijuana cultivation facility shall  
		(1) collect a random, homogenous sample for testing by segregating harvested marijuana into batches of individual strains of bud and flower, then selecting a random sample from each batch in an amount required by the marijuana testing facility;  
		(2) designate an individual responsible for collecting each sample; that individual shall  
			(A) prepare a signed statement showing that each sample has been randomly selected for testing;  
			(B) provide the signed statement to the marijuana testing facility; and  
			(C) maintain a copy as a business record under 3 AAC 306.755; and  
		(3) transport the sample to the marijuana testing facility's licensed premises in compliance with 3 AAC 306.750.  
	(c)  A marijuana cultivation facility shall segregate the entire batch from which the testing sample was selected until the marijuana testing facility reports the results from its tests. During this period of segregation, the marijuana cultivation facility that provided the sample shall maintain the batch in a secure, cool, and dry location to prevent the marijuana from becoming contaminated or losing its efficacy. The marijuana cultivation facility that provided the sample may not sell or transport any marijuana from the segregated batch until the marijuana testing facility has completed its testing and provided those results, in writing, to the marijuana cultivation facility that provided the sample. The marijuana cultivation facility shall maintain the testing results as part of its business books and records.
