As lawmakers rushed to meet last Thursday’s deadline to have bills read in their house of origin, over 30 medical marijuana-related bills advanced from the House and Senate floors.
The focus of the bills ranged from increased regulations on marijuana businesses, altering the licensure process, bolstering the OMMA and changing the structure of where marijuana revenue dollars go.
Here are some of the bills that advanced from their houses of origin this week:
Marijuana business requirements:
- HB2025– Would require all marijuana businesses and facilities to display their OMMA-issued license in a conspicuous place.
- SB1779– Would require signage at the property entrance of a business that lists the business license number and a telephone number.
- HB3827– Would require all medical marijuana commercial grower licensees with an outdoor production facility to register with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry as an environmentally sensitive crop owner. Registration would provide notice to nearby pesticide applicators, with the goal of minimizing pesticide drift.
- HB4056– Would require a private laboratory under contract with OMMA to provide a list of recommendations for marijuana testing equipment, as well as testing standards and operating procedures. Beginning in June 2024, laboratories renewing their licenses and new laboratories looking to obtain a license will have to be in compliance with the determined standards.
