The bill amends Section 426.1 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding licensure revocation hearings for medical marijuana licenses. It mandates that all such hearings be conducted in accordance with the Oklahoma Pleading Code and requires that these hearings be recorded, allowing parties to request copies of the recordings. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority must assist law enforcement upon request and share relevant information electronically, while also providing a list of marijuana-licensed premises to aid compliance with laws and regulations.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new requirements for marijuana-licensed premises regarding compliance with zoning and safety codes. It requires applicants to submit a certificate of occupancy and allows municipal governments to object to the renewal or transfer of licenses if the premises do not meet setback distances from schools. The bill also outlines the documentation needed for such objections and establishes that the Authority may deny renewals or transfers based on these criteria. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
