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 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 updates statutory language to reflect these changes. It also provides the Director with the authority to impose penalties for noncompliance and outlines the process for immediate suspension of registrations in cases of imminent danger to public health or safety. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
