Bill > SB1066

This bill amends Oklahoma's medical marijuana laws by establishing a new registry for physicians who recommend medical marijuana. Beginning January 1, 2026, physicians must be registered with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to provide medical marijuana recommendations to patients. To be eligible for the registry, physicians must complete medical education specific to medical marijuana prior to registration and continue to complete annual medical education on the topic. The bill requires the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to create rules defining the initial and ongoing medical education requirements, with input potentially sought from the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners, and the Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners. The bill maintains existing provisions that protect physicians from prosecution or professional penalties solely for recommending medical marijuana, while still allowing licensing boards to sanction physicians who fail to meet proper medical standards. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
