SB 398 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act; modifying administrative procedures for certain order to show cause. Emergency.

SB 398 clarifies administrative procedures for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics when issuing "orders to show cause" to registrants (such as pharmacies or clinics handling controlled substances) suspected of violating drug laws. It specifies that legal challenges must be filed only in Oklahoma County courts, allows subpoenas to be quashed if not necessary for cases, and requires registrations to remain active during hearings unless public safety demands immediate suspension. The bill also updates rules for delegating hearing authority and handling evidence requests. These changes streamline administrative processes under the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act without altering drug classification or penalties.
