This bill authorizes the Department of Wildlife Conservation to establish a registration and licensing system for hunting guides in Oklahoma. The new law specifically excludes commercial hunting facilities and landowners who provide guiding services on their own property from this requirement. The Department is also tasked with creating the necessary rules to implement this system.
The bill will be codified as Section 4-112B of Title 29 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance the safety and security of both landowners and hunters within the state.
