Oklahoma Senate Bill 1066, introduced by Senator Randy Grellner (R), has cleared the Senate Business and Insurance Committee in a unanimous 10 to 0 vote.
The bill would create a mandatory registry of physicians authorized to recommend medical marijuana, requiring doctors to register with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) and complete ongoing medical education to remain eligible.
Starting January 1, 2026, only registered physicians will be allowed to issue medical marijuana recommendations. The legislation also prohibits doctors from working at the same location as a licensed dispensary and mandates that physicians notify OMMA if they determine a patient no longer meets the state’s requirements for medical marijuana use. In such cases, the patient’s license would be immediately revoked without a formal hearing.
SB 1066 further directs OMMA to establish educational standards in consultation with the state’s medical licensing boards.
With an emergency clause, the bill would take effect immediately upon passage. It now moves to the full Senate for further debate and consideration.
