AI Summary

This bill modifies the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana and Patient Protection Act by extending the moratorium on issuing new medical marijuana business licenses for dispensaries, processors, and commercial growers until August 1, 2028, and allows the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) to end this moratorium earlier if all licensing reviews, inspections, and investigations are completed. It also introduces new restrictions for transferring ownership of existing medical marijuana businesses, requiring that any administrative actions or appeals related to a license be fully resolved before a transfer application can be submitted, and establishing a six-month waiting period after the completion of a license annulment, revocation, or suspension before a transfer application can be filed. The bill also removes a previous requirement for the OMMA to review and process applications received by a certain date and updates internal effective dates for these provisions, with the entire act becoming effective on August 1, 2026.
