Senate Bill No. 534 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding medical marijuana transportation by introducing a new "medical marijuana transporter license." This license will be available to various qualifying entities, including licensed dispensaries, growers, processors, research facilities, and education facilities, allowing them to transport medical marijuana products to other licensed facilities and directly to patients with a Veterans Affairs Benefit Summary Letter indicating a 100% disability rating. The bill establishes requirements for these licenses, including the necessity of an annual permit for temporary storage locations, and outlines operational protocols such as the use of a seed-to-sale tracking system and the preparation of inventory manifests.

Additionally, the bill enhances security measures for the delivery of medical marijuana to patients, requiring identity verification through facial identification or security codes, and ensuring that the patient's license status is confirmed with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority's database. It mandates secure payment processing and includes a Medical Marijuana Veterans Transporter Pilot Program, which will allow qualifying entities to transport medical marijuana to eligible veterans for a two-year period starting November 1, 2025. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority is responsible for creating the rules necessary for the implementation of this pilot program.
