Medical marijuana; modifying patient license fee for certain persons; effective date.

HB 3317 modifies Oklahoma's medical marijuana patient license fees, reducing the biannual fee from $100 to $20 for eligible low-income residents enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare, or SoonerCare. The bill directly affects qualifying Oklahoma residents seeking medical marijuana patient licenses by lowering their cost of participation. Key provisions include establishing a new discounted fee tier, creating short-term licenses (60 days) for those with temporary physician recommendations, and temporary licenses (30 days) for out-of-state patients from regulated programs. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority must implement these changes within 60 days of the bill's passage, including website applications and license validation systems.
