On Oct. 29, Gov. Kevin Stitt approved OMMA emergency rule updates required by new state laws, including Senate Bill 1939 and House Bill 3361 from the 2024 legislative session.

The emergency rules clarify required application materials and outline the license transfer process pursuant to Senate Bill 1939. Pre-packaging requirements that go into effect on June 1, 2025, required by House Bill 3361, are incorporated to these emergency rules, simplifying regulatory requirements for Oklahoma businesses. For a full summary of the changes, visit omma.ok.gov/rules.

In addition, OMMA drafted proposed permanent rules for consideration by the Legislature and Gov. Stitt. Permanent rules differ from emergency rules — they occur over a longer time frame, require a public comment period and must be submitted to the Legislature for consideration no later than Feb. 1.

The public comment period for OMMA's proposed permanent rules begins Nov. 15 and closes at 5 p.m. Dec. 17. A comment form will be embedded at omma.ok.gov/comment beginning Nov. 15. You can use that form to comment on the proposed rules until 5 p.m. Dec. 17.

You may also comment in person during a public meeting at 9 a.m. Dec. 17 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.
