Medical marijuana; authorizing Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to review applications and provide notice of approval or rejection to applicant. Emergency.

This bill requires the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority to review employee applications for credentials needed to work in licensed medical marijuana businesses. The law mandates that these credentials be issued only after a third-party vendor completes a national fingerprint-based background check and verifies the applicant's eligibility. If an application is rejected or denied, the Authority must provide a written explanation, and applicants have 30 days to resubmit missing information. The bill also grants the Authority the power to set costs for these services and protects third-party vendors from civil liability when acting in good faith.
