House Bill No. 2897 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding medical marijuana transportation by changing the terminology from "transportation license" to "medical marijuana transporter license." The bill allows licensees to transport medical marijuana specifically 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 transporting medical marijuana, such as inventory manifests and sales receipts. Additionally, the bill introduces a Medical Marijuana Veterans Transporter Pilot Program, which will last for two years, and mandates that all medical marijuana products be transported in locked containers with clear labeling.

The bill also requires that all delivery sales from licensed dispensaries to patients be conducted through a third-party vendor, necessitating patients to use an application that includes uploading a valid driver’s license, a medical marijuana patient license, a 3D facial map, and a current Veterans Affairs Benefit Summary Letter. The application must feature facial identification, payment verification, secure information transmission, and a location finder. A final 3D facial mapping is required upon the arrival of the transporter agent to ensure the correct individual receives the delivery. Furthermore, medical marijuana dispensaries must display a warning sign about the risks of THC products during pregnancy, and the act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
