In case you missed it, Gov. Kevin Stitt approved OMMA emergency rule updates on Sept. 11. A current copy of the rules is posted at omma.ok.gov/rules, and OMMA sent an email to commercial licensees summarizing the updates alongside any legislation necessitating the changes. Visit omma.ok.gov/rules at any time for a current copy of the rules and go to omma.ok.gov/contact if you have questions or comments.

State law and OMMA rules require all medical marijuana plants and products to be tracked from the seed stage all the way through retail sales to patients or legal disposal. Business licensees must use the State inventory tracking system.

Licensed labs are required to use the State inventory tracking system for subcontracting and testing intermediate samples.

As for sample field logs, all licensees should review OAC 442:10-8-3 of OMMA rules. Copies of sample field logs shall be maintained by both the lab and the commercial licensee from which the samples are being collected.

OMMA has posted a Sample Field Log at omma.ok.gov/forms and omma.ok.gov/compliance. Please note these are samples — licensees may, but are not required to, use the sample forms to fulfill rule requirements. Use of the forms themselves does not guarantee compliance — you must follow all rules and accurately report the data.

OMMA is pleased to host our next Veterans Roundtable from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 26. This session will focus primarily on patient safety. The session is in the Multipurpose Room on the first floor of the east side of the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City, 2300 N Lincoln Blvd.

Please RSVP to attend. Free parking is available in the south lot. The closest entrance is on the east side, and ADA compliant entrances are on the south and west sides. Administrators of the Oklahoma State Capitol recommend parking in the south lot. Parking is free, but the area can get crowded when the Legislature is in session (February-May). Tobacco and cannabis consumption are prohibited in and around the state Capitol.

If you have questions, please contact OMMA Education and Outreach Manager Nyomi Barrick-Wommack.

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.

Complaints about medical marijuana businesses are reviewed by OMMA’s Compliance Department. Compliance inspectors and/or law enforcement officers may follow up on complaints for further investigation.

Visit omma.ok.gov/complaint to use the OMMA Business Complaint form. You may remain anonymous if you want. Please provide as much information as possible. Complaints are reviewed in the order received, but threats to public health and safety are prioritized.
