Metrc Support Bulletins
In case you missed it, Metrc recently issued two support bulletins — one on external transfers for seeds and another highlighting new features in Metrc.

Pesticides, Heavy Metals or Mycotoxins
Regulations don’t allow pesticides, heavy metals or mycotoxins to be remediated for any harvest or production batch. Batches which are “Test Failed” or “Retest Failed” for these analytes are required to be disposed of in accordance with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Waste Management Act and the rules.

Commercial Renewals
Reminder: Commercial renewal applications open 60 days prior to the expiration date on your license(s). Check the expiration date on your license(s) by logging in to your licensing portal. As long as you submit a renewal application before the license expires, the license will remain active while OMMA reviews the application.

Tracking vs. Compliance
Being credentialed in Metrc and using it to track your inventory is required by state law and OMMA rules. Licensees are responsible for ensuring all their actions in Metrc are also compliant with OMMA rules and state law. There are fields in Metrc where you have to be sure the information you enter is compliant with OMMA rules.

Metrc Support Tickets
The best way to get help for a Metrc-related issue is to submit a support ticket to Metrc and wait for Metrc to contact you. NOTE: Metrc will contact OMMA on your behalf if it requires OMMA's action or guidance. If you call or email again about the same issue, Metrc will open a new ticket which creates a longer wait time for you.

March 2 marked the first major legislative deadline — bills that passed their assigned committee are now eligible to continue through the legislative process.

Out of the almost 60 bills OMMA is tracking, 34 made it out of committee, making them eligible for consideration in their chamber of origin. The next major deadline is March 23 for bills to pass out of their chamber of origin.

For your convenience, OMMA has a dedicated webpage to provide you with updates during legislative session. Visit omma.ok.gov/legislation to see bills related to the industry. Please note this resource is for informational purposes only — it is not an indication that OMMA supports or opposes any legislation.

With tax season around the corner, the IRS asked OMMA to share information that may be helpful to businesses in the medical marijuana industry, including:

As a reminder, growers, processors, dispensaries, labs and transporters are required to submit a Foreign Financial Interest Attestation form within 60 days of OMMA’s approval of the license application. Applications are submitted by businesses for initial and renewal licenses.

By state law, failure to complete this attestation within 60 days of application approval will result in the revocation of your OMMA license.

A separate attestation is required for each business operation at the time its application is approved. Failure to submit the required attestation within the 60-day time period is subject to revocation of the license. For example, if your business owns a grow license and a processing license, an attestation must be completed for the grow license and an attestation must be completed for the processing license. If your business owns more than one grow license, a separate attestation is required for each grow license.

If you have not completed the Foreign Financial Interest Attestation, visit the website of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.

If your business is no longer active or operational, you may surrender your license. To surrender your license, please visit omma.ok.gov/surrender. Any associated transporter agent cards will also be surrendered.

Please visit omma.ok.gov/contact and use our contact form if you have any questions.
