This bill amends Section 427.8 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the rights and restrictions related to medical marijuana use and possession. Key changes include the implementation of a discretionary zero-tolerance policy for employers regarding medical marijuana use, the removal of the definition of "safety-sensitive position," and the clarification that employers are not required to accommodate the use of medical marijuana in the workplace. Additionally, the bill ensures that medical marijuana patients and caregivers cannot be denied eligibility for public assistance programs or the right to own firearms based solely on their status as medical marijuana licensees.

The bill also specifies that employers can enforce written zero-tolerance drug policies and take adverse actions against employees who test positive for marijuana, consistent with their policies. It removes previous language that restricted employers from penalizing employees based on their medical marijuana status or positive drug tests, thereby allowing for stricter workplace regulations. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
