The bill amends existing laws regarding medical marijuana licenses in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on the identification numbers associated with these licenses. It modifies the identification number from a twenty-four-character format to a twelve-character format and introduces a PDF417 barcode for better verification. The bill also establishes a medical marijuana use registry that will be accessible to licensed dispensaries and courts, ensuring compliance with state and federal privacy laws. Additionally, it outlines the process for obtaining various types of medical marijuana licenses, including short-term and temporary licenses for out-of-state residents, and sets the fees associated with these applications.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes the confidentiality of medical marijuana patient and caregiver records, mandating that all records be sealed to protect applicants' privacy. It allows counties and cities to create guidelines that may permit license holders to exceed state possession limits. The act will take effect on November 1, 2025, and will apply to any new or replacement medical marijuana patient licenses issued after that date.
