AI Summary
This bill mandates that licensed medical marijuana businesses in Oklahoma must clean up and properly dispose of all trash, debris, waste, and substances related to their operations, with fines of $5,000 for a first offense and $25,000 for subsequent offenses, and the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) is empowered to create rules for enforcement. Additionally, commercial marijuana growers must clean up their operations within 30 days after their license is revoked, expires, or becomes inactive, and failure to do so will result in the grow operation being declared a public nuisance, which can be abated. The bill also defines "abandoned medical marijuana grow operation" as a public nuisance, and repeals a previous law regarding bond requirements for land use, with the entire act taking effect on July 1, 2026, and an emergency clause allowing for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
