This bill amends Section 2-315 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding the disposal of controlled dangerous substances. It modifies the language to require that such substances be disposed of in accordance with federal regulations, specifically 21 C.F.R., Part 1317, rather than submitted for destruction to specific entities as previously mandated. The bill also removes certain limitations on the disposal process and introduces new provisions that allow ultimate users to submit their own drugs for disposal under specific conditions. Additionally, it permits the disposal of drugs prescribed to decedents and authorizes qualified hospice programs to handle these substances, provided they follow a prescribed process that includes completing and submitting a specific form.

The bill further defines terms related to the disposal process and establishes requirements for record-keeping and compliance with federal regulations. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining records of destruction and disposal, which must be available for inspection by regulatory agencies. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
