This bill amends the licensing regulations for medical marijuana commercial growers in Oklahoma, specifically updating Section 422 of Title 63. It mandates that the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) provide an easily accessible application for commercial grower licenses on its website, with a specified application fee and a review period of ninety business days for applications. Notably, beginning November 1, 2026, the total number of licenses that the OMMA can approve and issue will be capped at 2,550. The bill also clarifies the criteria for applicants, including age, residency, and ownership requirements, while disqualifying individuals with certain felony convictions.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 427.14a of Title 63, which pertains to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana and Patient Protection Act. It maintains that licensed growers can sell marijuana only to licensed dispensaries and processors, with sales classified as wholesale and exempt from taxation. The bill also requires licensed growers to submit monthly yield and sales reports to the OMMA, detailing various metrics related to their operations. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
