OMMA Compliance

So when a patient or a business owner files a complaint or makes an inquiry as to something involving your business to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, to OSBI, to the Department of Health, they don’t have a record because you’re known by your trade name on the street and not necessarily by your business name.

Some of the new major changes made OMMA’s is making will consist of the following: waste disposal, in-house doctors, non-conforming goods. How will this affect your business? Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Attorney Isaiah Brydie has all of those answers.

Records containing private patient information shall not be retained by medical marijuana business for more than 60 days without the patient or caregiver’s consent. Private patient information means personally identifiable information, such as a patient’s name, address, date of birth, social security number, a telephone number, email address, photograph, and financial information. This term does not include the patient’s medical license number, their patient license, their patient card number, which shall be retained by the medical marijuana business, and provided to the department upon the request for compliance and public health purposes, including the verification of lawful sales or patient trace-ability and over the event of a product recall.

According to the statute, whenever a state agency issues out new rules, they’re required to issue out a notice and comment phase. Now with that, that phase is supposed to be there, so that the general public can issue in their notices and their comments about how the new rules are going to impact them, what their opinions are, what some proposed changes may be. And also, too, with the statute in place, the governing, the State Agency, is supposed to actually go in and review those comments, and actually take into consideration those comments that were given by the general populace.

Oklahoma Attorney Isaiah Brydie explains how a new statutory change could have an effect on your Oklahoma Medical Marijuana business. There are new statutory changes that could be issued from the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority. The first provision basically sets up a medical marijuana transportation license that is going to be issued to each medical marijuana business.
