The bill amends Section 1020.7 of Title 82 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to groundwater permit applications. It requires individuals intending to use groundwater to apply to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board for an appropriate permit before drilling or extracting water from existing wells. The amendment specifies that applicants must present a valid medical marijuana commercial grower license issued by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority and an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics Manufacturer Registration if they intend to use groundwater for medical marijuana grow facilities. Additionally, the application must include documentation of a valid, unexpired driver's license issued in Oklahoma or a valid U.S. passport.

The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2026, and it declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The bill also includes a provision that the application form must comply with the rules and regulations established by the Board, ensuring that all necessary information is collected for the permit process.
