The bill amends the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, specifically 63 O.S. 2021, Section 2-305, to clarify and modify administrative procedures related to violations and the issuance of orders by the Director of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. Key changes include the introduction of a written order "to show cause" that must be served on parties before any registration can be annulled, conditioned, suspended, or revoked. The bill also specifies that all alleged violations will be deemed admitted unless the registrant requests a hearing within thirty days, and it establishes that jurisdiction and venue for related actions will be limited to the district court of Oklahoma County.
Additionally, the bill allows for the quashing or modification of subpoenas under certain conditions and provides the Director with the authority to impose penalties for noncompliance with orders. It also includes provisions for immediate suspension of registrations in cases of imminent danger to public health or safety, and it outlines the penalties for violations of the act. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
