Senate Bill No. 1092 establishes new requirements for medical marijuana commercial growers in Oklahoma, particularly those with indoor grow facilities located within municipal boundaries. The bill mandates that these growers submit an odor control plan by January 1, 2027, which must include details about the facility, odor emissions, and mitigation practices. Additionally, if a grower receives three or more odor nuisance complaints within a thirty-day period, they are required to submit an odor control plan to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA). The OMMA is responsible for creating the necessary rules to enforce these provisions. The bill also amends existing law regarding medical marijuana business licenses, requiring commercial grower license applicants to include an odor control plan with their application and necessitating that renewal applications contain either a current odor control plan or an affidavit confirming the existing plan is up to date.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the procedures for obtaining a medical marijuana business license, ensuring that applicants receive clear reasons for any rejections or denials. It specifies criteria for application denial, such as failure to meet standards or incomplete applications, and allows applicants 30 days to provide missing information for reconsideration. The bill also sets restrictions on who can hold a medical marijuana business license, including individuals with recent felony convictions and certain public officials, while mandating truthful information from all applicants and compliance with zoning and building codes. Additionally, it introduces a late renewal fee for expired licenses and requires businesses to cease operations immediately upon license expiration. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
