This 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 they 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, necessitating a certificate of occupancy from local authorities. It allows municipal governments to object to the renewal or transfer of dispensary licenses if they are found to be operating too close to schools, and outlines the documentation needed to support such objections. The bill also establishes that existing licensees without a valid certificate of occupancy may face revocation unless they have applied for one before a specified date. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
