HB 2179 was also signed yesterday: Bill Text: OK HB2179 | 2022 | Regular Session | Introduced | LegiScan

In a previous House floor session describing the bill, Fetgatter said this was a ‘requested’ bill and would not “fix” the ‘black market’ just “generate revenue they could put toward law enforcement or something”

Here’s an article on 2179: Medical marijuana licensing bills get the green light in a State Senate Committee | KOKH

From the article: "Although he’s sponsoring the bill, Rep. Fetgatter doesn’t think raising costs is the best solution to cracking down on illegal activity.

“But with that being said, there’s a lot of people in the industry that also want us to raise the licensing fees,” Rep. Fetgatter said."
