Medical marijuana; requiring certain hearings to be conducted pursuant to the Oklahoma Pleading Code. Effective date.

SB 498 requires all hearings to revoke medical marijuana licenses in Oklahoma to follow standard court procedures (Oklahoma Pleading Code) and mandates these hearings be recorded. It also requires the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to share license verification information with law enforcement electronically and provide location lists of licensed marijuana businesses to local governments. The bill adds new rules for dispensaries near schools, requiring municipalities to document violations of setback distance rules (including school visibility evidence) before denying license renewals. These changes directly affect medical marijuana businesses, local governments, and law enforcement agencies by altering licensing processes and information sharing.
