Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-427.14a: Moratorium on processing and issuing new medical

marijuana business licenses.

A. Beginning August 1, 2022, and ending August 1, 2026, the

Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority shall, based on the number of

current medical marijuana business licenses for dispensaries,

processors, and commercial growers, declare and establish a

moratorium on processing and issuing new medical marijuana business

licenses for dispensaries, processors, and commercial growers. The

Executive Director of the Authority shall be authorized to terminate

the moratorium at any time prior to August 1, 2026, if the Executive

Director determines that all pending licensing reviews, inspections,

or investigations have been completed by the Authority.

B. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the

renewal of a medical marijuana business license for a dispensary,

processor, or commercial grower under the provisions of Section

427.14 of this title or to the issuance of a medical marijuana

business license necessitated by a change in the ownership or

location of a medical marijuana dispensary, medical marijuana

processor, or medical marijuana commercial grower; provided,

however, the Authority shall be authorized to deny the request for

issuance of a medical marijuana business license due to a change in

ownership if the licensee is subject to any disciplinary action that

may necessitate the revocation, suspension, or nonrenewal of the

medical marijuana business license.

C. The Authority shall review and process applications for

medical marijuana business licenses for dispensaries, processors,

and commercial growers if applications were received on or before

August 1, 2022.

D. The Authority shall promulgate rules as necessary to

implement the provisions of this section.
