AI Summary
This bill modifies Oklahoma's medical marijuana transportation regulations by expanding the scope of medical marijuana transporter licenses to allow licensed dispensaries and transporters to deliver medical marijuana directly to certain veterans with a 100% disability rating from the Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill introduces a detailed delivery process that requires patients to use a specialized mobile application with robust identity verification features, including facial mapping, license verification, and secure payment systems. Additionally, the legislation creates a two-year Medical Marijuana Veterans Transporter Pilot Program within the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to facilitate these deliveries. The bill also allows medical marijuana transporters to maintain and operate multiple warehouses with annual permits, establishes more comprehensive inventory tracking requirements, and mandates that medical marijuana dispensaries display warning signs about consuming THC products during pregnancy. Transporters must now use GPS-tracked vehicles, keep marijuana in locked containers, and maintain detailed documentation of all marijuana transportation and storage, with specific requirements for inventory manifests and record-keeping. The bill aims to improve medical marijuana access for disabled veterans while implementing stricter regulatory oversight of transportation and delivery processes.
