House Bill No. 2897 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding the transportation of medical marijuana, specifically updating the terminology from "transportation license" to "medical marijuana transporter license." The bill allows licensees to transport medical marijuana to patients with a Veterans Affairs Benefit Summary Letter indicating a 100% disability rating. It establishes requirements for obtaining annual warehouse permits for those maintaining multiple warehouses and outlines necessary documentation for transportation, including inventory manifests and sales receipts. Additionally, the bill introduces the Medical Marijuana Veterans Transporter Pilot Program, which will last for two years, and mandates that all medical marijuana products be transported in locked containers and clearly labeled.

The legislation also introduces new regulations for the delivery of medical marijuana to patients, requiring that all sales from licensed dispensaries be conducted through a third-party vendor. Patients must use an application to upload identification documents, complete facial identification, and verify their medical marijuana license before placing an order. The application will include features such as a location finder and 3D facial mapping verification upon the delivery agent's arrival. Furthermore, dispensaries are required to display a warning sign about the risks of THC consumption during pregnancy. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
