Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Drug registration appeals require Oklahoma County

Court cases about controlled-substance registrations or individual proceedings, including appeals, must go to the Oklahoma County district court. Registrants, applicants, and other parties cannot bring these covered cases in another county.

New hearing rules for drug registrants

Oklahoma’s narcotics bureau must state the alleged violation or reason for action against a controlled-substance registration. Registrants have 30 days after the order is issued to request a hearing; otherwise, the allegations count as admitted. The Director must issue a final order by default if registrants do not request a hearing or miss it. Cases follow state administrative procedures and Bureau rules, unless the controlled-substances law has more specific rules. The Director or hearing officer can change or cancel subpoenas, even over objections, for legal grounds or evidence not both necessary and proper to decide the case.
