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

SB 498 requires all Oklahoma medical marijuana license revocation hearings to follow standard court procedures under the Oklahoma Pleading Code (Title 12, Section 2001 et seq.), replacing previous administrative processes. It also mandates that these hearings be recorded, with copies provided to law enforcement if revocation relates to alleged criminal activity. This change directly affects medical marijuana license holders facing revocation proceedings and aims to standardize hearing procedures while clarifying information-sharing requirements between the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority and law enforcement. The bill does not alter medical marijuana access or business operations, focusing solely on procedural changes to license revocation hearings.
