Medical marijuana continues to be a focus for Oklahoma legislators this session. Nearly two dozen measures have been filed.
Some legislation focuses on medical marijuana growers or businesses.
House Bill 3144, written by Rep. Rusty Cornwell, R-Vinita, and Rep. Tim Turner, R-Kinta, would limit the number of medical marijuana commercial grower licenses the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority can approve and issue to 2,550.
In August 2022, a moratorium on new dispensary, grower and processor licenses began, and it has been extended till August of this year.
Lawmakers will consider Oklahoma City Democrat Mark Mann’s Senate Bill 1364, which allows the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to make procedures for medical marijuana businesses that require them to reveal outstanding state fees, fines, taxes or other debts before the establishment is sold.
Other measures are concerned with the medical marijuana products themselves.
Testing for certain pesticides would be required if House Bill 3013 became law. Written by Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, D-Norman, the bill requires final harvest samples and final production batch samples to be tested for 72 pesticides and sets allowable amount thresholds.
Senate Bill 1591, authored by Paul Rosino, R- Oklahoma City, limits the amount of psychoactive compound THC in edible medical marijuana products. It allows no more than 10 milligrams of THC per edible and no more than 100 milligrams of THC per package.
Senate Bill 1846 from Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, would allow counties and municipalities to levy excise tax on medical marijuana sales.
Lawmakers have also filed shell bills relating to marijuana. Those proposals are empty except for a title describing their general area of law, allowing lawmakers flexibility to create new legislation after the bill filing deadline.
