AI Summary

This bill modifies existing law regarding bonds required for commercial medical marijuana growing operations in Oklahoma, defining "reclamation" as returning land to a marketable condition and allowing the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) to recall these bonds under specific circumstances such as property abandonment, license revocation, or in response to violations requiring remedial action, with the bond funds intended to cover property restoration costs. The bill also mandates that the OMMA notify local law enforcement agencies when a medical marijuana business license expires and requires the OMMA to maintain records of all bond statuses for at least two years, while also directing the Authority to create necessary rules and establishing an effective date of November 1, 2026.
