The public comment period for OMMA's proposed permanent rules was Nov. 15, 2024, to Dec. 17, 2024.
A form at the bottom of this page to comment on the proposed rules was available from Nov. 15, 2024, through 5 p.m. Dec. 17, 2024.
OMMA held a public meeting for comments in person at 9 a.m. on Dec. 17, 2024, in Room 535 of the Oklahoma State Capitol (2300 N Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City). The meeting was livestreamed and recorded on the Oklahoma State Senate website. View a recording of this meeting.
OMMA issued an Agency Rule Report after the public comment period. In all, OMMA received and responded to 283 comments (259 written and 24 verbal) from patients, businesses and the general public. When creating the rule report, OMMA considered the comments received, clarified rules and made note for future rulemaking discussions.
As part of the rulemaking process, the rule report was submitted to Gov. Kevin Stitt and the Legislature for consideration during the upcoming legislative session set to begin at noon on Monday, Feb. 3. Pending approval from the governor, these rules will take effect later in 2025.
These proposed rules implement newly passed legislation like House Bill 3361, Senate Bill 758, Senate Bill 1635 and Senate Bill 1939 and clarify sections of current rules. Amendments to streamline inventory manifest requirements and application materials are meant to simplify regulatory requirements for Oklahoma businesses, while amendments expanding the list of required pesticide testing and requiring dispensaries to produce copies of testing results (COAs) upon request ensure safe medical marijuana products for licensed patients in the state.
The public comment period is part of OMMA's rulemaking process. More details are available on the Rulemaking Process page.
