Thread: The Oklahoma State Board of Health is considering final draft rules. Julie Ezell, general counsel is presenting. #SQ788
She is explaining several provisions. I'll tweet some highlights while retweeting other reporters.
Ezell: The rules ban outdoor marijuana cultivation. It's not only for the safety, security of the marijuana. "It's also related to pesticides, water runoff and stuff like that."
Some of the biggest issues among supporters: THC limits at 12 percent, surety bonds for dispensaries.
Ezell: We had more than 900 comments on the rules.
Question: Are there any rules that changed after public comment? Ezell: A few. The biggest one that comes to mind is we updated the rules on tracking.
A board member I can't identify: There aren't enough restrictions on smokable marijuana, where it can be smoked. "I don't think we're protecting the public that doesn't smoke. I think we're imposing a hazard on them."
Skillings: "Our first and foremost obligation is to protect the health and safety of the people of this state." They're wanting to make changes. Some amendments, such as requiring a pharmacist, as well as some clarifications.
Yeah so they're shuffling papers around and barely talking into the mic. No idea what's happening.
They're discussing the limit on dispensaries. Can't see who is talking because they're off camera.
Jenny Alexopulos says that studies have shown crime goes up around dispensaries. "From a matter of public safety and a necessity for security...*sound dropped* ... communities across the state would be concerned about the number that would pop up."
Charles W. Grim, board member: I've worked hard on smoking cessation projects, but I don't think I can support the ban. "When I read this law, it seems to imply smoking is appropriate."
They're voting on something and only using the section numbers. Apparently it stops smoking? Can't tell. It passed. This tweet thread is seeming pretty useless so I'm going to stop.

I'm watching @NewsOK's gubernatorial debate and will tweet highlights.
@NewsOK Stitt on the teacher walkout: "We would have never been in that situation had I been governor."
@NewsOK Chris Casteel: Why did you oppose HB1010? You've said before we need to be competitive with other states. The increased rates are still lower than many. Stitt: "It was just going to put a bandaid on this problem."

I'm at the joint legislative working group on #SQ788. In addition to two doctors, more than 15 residents have signed up to speak. They are allotted 5 minutes each.
Dr. Mike Mullins will testify first. He said he's representing no one but himself. He graduated from both pharmacy and medical school.
Mullins: "We have a very limited role. It is a role that is very short. It's not anything we have experienced before as physicians with our patients." We might never see the patients again. "It probably is more along the lines of a consumer-physician relationship."

Thread: I hear constantly that Oklahoma's prison system is corrupt because of private prisons. Let's talk about why that is one tiny piece of the huge problem that is Oklahoma's criminal justice system. Not a lawyer, policy wonk, etc. This is some 101 stuff.
Oklahoma's PUBLIC state-owned and operated prisons have nearly 20k people in them. That is 113% of capacity. Where are those 13 percent? Glad you asked. Usually one of two places: county jails or temporary beds.
In county jails, there are no services. No mental health, no substance abuse, no job training. No counseling at all. Just meals. Temporary beds are shoved into common spaces. Sometimes it's the spaces where these classes are supposed to be held, so those classes disappear.

I'm at the joint working group on #SQ788. We'l be hearing from law enforcement today.
Rusty Rhoades, head of the Department of Public Safety. He is talking about whether employees should be allowed to use MMJ. He said troopers obviously can't. He said rules in his department will have to be black and white. "There's not a lot of grey area in law enforcement."
Sen. Paxton: Walk me through a traffic stop. No one is concerned about MMJ at home. But what about on the road? Rhoades: “Training has been in place for a number of years ... now, that’s expensive training.” “That’s where the lines get pretty blurry.”

The debate is starting. You can tune in now. Kelly Ogle of OKC @NEWS9 and Terry Hood of Tulsa @NewsOn6 are hosting.
First question, Ogle: Do you believe Oklahoma is headed in the right direction?
Cornett: “The citizens of Oklahoma should be very upset.” Points to several economic and political failures and contrasts them with achievements in Oklahoma City. “i want to bring the same sort of success to all corners of Oklahoma.”

Thread: I'll be tweeting some details from the #SQ788 lawsuit filed in Cleveland County today. Here's the link. If you want to read the complaint, find the PDF under petition. I'll upload a PDF in a but. oscn.net/dockets/GetCas…
Plaintiffs include residents who would be medical marijuana licensees or parents of minors who would qualify. Conditions include seizure disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, migraines and insomnia.
"(Plaintiffs) have been denied proper access to medical care and treatment by the arbitrary and capricious rules adopted by the DOH which exceed their rule making authority and which impair Plaintiffs rights under Oklahoma State law."
