House Bill 3314 advances to allow county marijuana impact tax

A proposal that would allow counties to impose a public service impact tax on retail marijuana sales is advancing at the Oklahoma Capitol.

House Bill 3314, authored by Rep. Ryan Eaves, R-Atoka, passed the House County and Municipal Government Committee unanimously on February 20, 2026, by a 6-0 vote. The measure now moves to the Government Oversight Committee for further consideration.


House Bill 3314 would create county marijuana impact tax option

Under House Bill 3314, counties could ask voters to approve up to a 15% public service impact tax on retail marijuana sales. The tax would not be automatic and would require majority approval in a special county election.

If approved by voters, revenue would be deposited into the county general fund.

Legislative updates and bill language can be reviewed through the Oklahoma State Legislature.


Revenue aimed at law enforcement and community cleanup

Supporters say the proposed county marijuana impact tax would help offset local impacts tied to the state’s medical marijuana industry.

Funds generated could support:

  • Local sheriff’s offices

  • Police departments

  • Fire departments

  • Cleanup of dilapidated properties

The tax would apply only to retail marijuana sales and would not affect marijuana grown by individuals on their own property for personal use.

Oversight of the state’s medical marijuana industry is managed by the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority.


Part of broader 2026 marijuana regulation efforts

The public service impact tax on retail marijuana sales is part of a broader set of 2026 legislative proposals aimed at regulating Oklahoma’s medical marijuana industry, including measures related to licensing.

If passed and signed into law, the measure would take effect November 1, 2026.

Industry regulations and licensing updates are available through the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority.
