Oklahoma lawmakers are whittling down the list of medical marijuana bills that will ultimately get passed during this session.
Last Thursday was the deadline for bills to get passed in the committee of the opposite chamber of the bill’s origin.
If those bills are agreed upon by conference committees, committee reports for the bills are sent to the originating chamber and then the opposite chamber for approval or rejection.
HB3827*†– Would require all medical marijuana commercial grower licensees with an outdoor production facility to register with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry as an environmentally sensitive crop owner.
HB4056*†- Would require a private laboratory under contract with OMMA to provide a list of recommendations for marijuana testing equipment, as well as testing standards and operating procedures.
SB1697*- Would require marijuana growers to acquire a bond before receiving their license or license renewal for the purpose of land reclamation.
HB3929*†- Would require the OMMA to develop standards for process validation.
It would also require marijuana containers to be printed with “For use by licensed medical marijuana patients only,” and “Keep out of reach of children,” on the container.
Indoor facilities and greenhouses or light deprivation facilities with canopies over 1,667 square feet would then pay an additional $1.50 per square foot.
SB1755*- Would require that licenses cannot be issued until all relevant local licenses and permits have been issued by the municipality, and all necessary inspections have been done.
HB3530*†- Creates the County Sheriff Public Safety Grant Revolving Fund, which would be used for law enforcement relating to marijuana.
