Bill > SB498

This bill modifies the Oklahoma medical marijuana licensing process by requiring all licensure revocation hearings to be conducted according to the Oklahoma Pleading Code. Specifically, the bill mandates that these hearings must follow the procedural requirements outlined in Title 12, Section 2001 et seq. of the Oklahoma Statutes. The existing law already stipulated that such hearings must be recorded and that copies can be requested by parties, with recordings shared with local law enforcement if the revocation involves alleged criminal activity. The bill maintains other existing provisions related to medical marijuana licensing, such as the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority's obligations to assist law enforcement, share information, and provide online verification of patient and caregiver licenses. Additionally, the bill continues to require marijuana-licensed premises to submit certificates of occupancy demonstrating compliance with various safety, zoning, and building codes. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, providing clarity and standardization to the process of medical marijuana licensure revocation hearings in Oklahoma.
