When is a Zero Report due?

• A. Within 24 hours
• B. On the 15th day
• C. On or before the 5th day of the next month
• D. End of the month

Answer: (C)

A Zero Report is a monthly compliance filing that confirms no controlled substances were dispensed or inventoried during the reporting period. In Montana, it must be submitted on or before the 5th day of the next month. This deadline ensures timely communication to the Board. If there was any dispensing, you would still file by the 5th with the monthly details. Options like 24 hours, the 15th, or the end of the month do not match this regulatory deadline.
