Bill > HB3143

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 pending licensing matters are resolved. 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 completed before a transfer application can be submitted, and prohibits transfers for at least six months after a license is annulled, revoked, or suspended. The bill also removes a previous requirement for the OMMA to process applications received by a certain date and adjusts internal effective dates for these changes, with the overall act taking effect on August 1, 2026.
