Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act; specifying registration requirements and promulgation of rules for certain fees by the Director. Effective date.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Oklahoma's Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act to update how businesses register and pay fees for handling controlled substances. It requires publicly traded companies to provide a full list of owners who control the drugs at each registered site. The law also sets specific deadlines for renewing these registrations, requiring applications to be submitted between July 1 and September 1 each year. If a business fails to renew by the end of the year, it must apply for a completely new registration rather than simply extending the old one. Additionally, the bill clarifies that applications with major changes to the original registration are treated as new applications instead of simple renewals.

Agriculture; nutrient management plans; compliance, violation of Registered Poultry Feeding Operations Act; enforcement jurisdiction; nuisance liability; emergency.

Maddy summaryHB 4118, known as the Farmer Protection Act, aims to clarify and strengthen protections for poultry farmers in Oklahoma by establishing the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry as the sole agency responsible for enforcing the Registered Poultry Feeding Operations Act. The bill creates a legal presumption that farmers who follow their approved Nutrient Management Plans are shielded from private lawsuits and nuisance liability claims, provided they adhere to state rules on waste storage and land application. It mandates that these management plans be renewed every six years and requires detailed records of waste removal and application to ensure environmental safety. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions allowing for emergency exceptions to storage rules when necessary to meet requirements set by poultry integrators.
