When lawmakers create new state laws regarding medical marijuana, OMMA enters the rulemaking process to incorporate the new state laws into OMMA’s permanent rules. As part of the rulemaking process, we accept and review public comments about proposed changes.
Visit omma.ok.gov/comment through 5 p.m. Dec. 15 to review and comment on OMMA’s proposed permanent rules. The rules and summaries of changes are included on the page. There will also be a public hearing to comment in person at 9 a.m. Dec. 15 in Room 535 of the Oklahoma State Capitol, 2300 N Lincoln Blvd., in Oklahoma City. The meeting will be livestreamed and recorded on the Oklahoma State Senate website. Anyone who wishes to speak must sign in at the door by 9:05 a.m.
This is the first set of proposed permanent rules since OMMA became an independent state agency Nov. 1.
OMMA will consider the comments received and submit rule documents to the Oklahoma Legislature for consideration during the 2023 regular legislative session. The permanent rules would take effect with the governor’s approval later in 2023. They’ll be posted at omma.ok.gov/rules.
