Summary of Bill: HJR 1096 (Oklahoma, 2026)

Purpose and Intent

  • This Joint Resolution approves certain proposed major rule changes submitted by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA).
  • Specifically, it authorizes the Legislature to approve OMMA’s proposed major rules and directs the distribution of this resolution for official notice.

Key Provisions

  • Major rule approvals: The resolution approves OMMA’s proposed major rule changes identified by the following Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) sections:
    • 442:1-1-1
    • 442:1-1-6
    • 442:1-1-7
    • 442:1-1-8
    • 442:1-1-9
    • 442:1-1-10
    • 442:1-1-11
    • 442:1-1-12
    • 442:1-1-13
    • 442:1-1-16
    • 442:1-1-17
    • 442:1-1-18
    • 442:1-1-19
    • 442:1-1-20
  • Timing for submission: The rule changes must have been submitted by OMMA on or before February 1, 2026.
  • Nature of changes: The resolution does not specify the details of the rule changes themselves; it serves as legislative approval for the identified “major rule changes,” as required by Oklahoma law for major regulatory amendments (per Section 308, Title 75).

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • OMMA: The agency proposing the major rule changes would receive legislative approval, enabling the rules to take effect subject to statutory procedures.
  • Oklahoma Legislature and State Agencies: The approval process is formalized via a joint resolution, ensuring statutory compliance for “major rules.”
  • General Public and Licensees: Depending on the content of the approved rules, affected stakeholders could include medical marijuana licensees, patients, suppliers, and other entities regulated by OMMA. The resolution itself does not alter rules but clears the path for their formal adoption.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Legal authority for approval: Section 308 of Title 75, Oklahoma Statutes, requires a separate joint resolution to approve or disapprove major rules.
  • Current action: The bill, as introduced, grants approval for the specified OMMA major rule changes.
  • Schedule indicated by bill: If enacted, the Secretary of State is directed to distribute copies of the resolution to the Governor and the editor of The Oklahoma Register, ensuring public notice.
  • Action history:
    • First Reading: April 27, 2026
    • Second Reading: April 28, 2026 (referred to Administrative Rules)

Additional Notes

  • The bill does not include substantive policy changes beyond approving OMMA’s listed major rules.
  • For readers seeking specifics, the exact text of each OAC section listed (442:1-1-1 through 442:1-1-20, excluding none) would detail the particular regulatory adjustments OMMA intends to implement.
