The Capitol 'Fetgatter Show' Passes Several Cannabis Reforms

2/18/2020

Comments

 
The chairman of the House Rules Committee informally declared today's committee meeting' the Fetgatter Show'; as Rep. Scott Fetgatter achieved overwhelming bipartisan support for his series of major reforms to medical marijuana policies.

  • HB 3954 - Fetgatter - Medical marijuana; specifying manner by which distance between properties shall be measured; emergency. 
     This bill clarifies the 1000ft. distance from school properties in greater detail.
      It also strikes the old "certificate of compliance" rules from last year, and creates a much simpler one, just for first year of licensing under current operations.
      It also  allows reciprocities, so that visiting patients can attain their medicines while in Oklahoma. It may open Oklahomans to opportunities to attain medicines in other states that reciprocate.
  • HB 3956 - Fetgatter - Medical marijuana; exempting transporter agents from residency requirement; emergency. 
     This complies with a recent federal court ruling and is advised by the Oklahoma Attorney General, regarding interstate commerce.
  • HB 3957 - Fetgatter - Medical marijuana; authorizing dispensaries to sell certain products;
     This allows dispensaries who sell dried cannabis flower, to create 'prerolls' in smoking papers, without a separate processor license.
  • HB 3959 - Fetgatter - Medical marijuana; creating Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority as a separate and distinct state agency; removing references to the State Department of Health and updating language; 
     This moves the current OMMA to a stand-alone agency, apart from the Oklahoma Dept. of Health, to avoid the bureaucratic problems of implementing innovations and allows more direct collaboration with the legislature.

Echols Opens Medical Care Beyond Borders

​
  • HB 3474 - Fetgatter - Medical marijuana; removing certain limitation on issuing medical marijuana waste disposal licenses by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority;
      This removes the cap in state licenses for medical marijuana waste handling. It was capped at 10 licenses last year.
  • HB 3227 - Echols - Medical marijuana; creating the Medical Marijuana Home Delivery Act of 2020; 
      This allows homebound patients to have their medicine delivered to them, by a licensed dispensary, rather than have to get a caregiver to provide for the patient need.
  • HB 3230 - Echols - Marijuana; creating the Medical Marijuana Licensing Act of 2020;
     This Clarifies waste rules for disposal of medical marijuana content
  • HB 3229 - Echols - Marijuana; creating the Medical Marijuana Patient Act of 2020; 
      This creates a means of licensing hospital patients at our cancer treatment hospitals, as well as others who have no other residency in the state. ​ They currently are limited to a 30 day license, and then have to be relicensed, which interrupts essential medical treatment why waiting up to 3 weeks for a new temporary license.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
