The bill establishes the Oklahoma Spay and Neuter Grant Program, which will be overseen by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. The program aims to reduce animal shelter overpopulation and the euthanasia rates of cats and dogs by providing grants to local governments and animal welfare organizations for spay and neuter services. The Department will award these grants based on recommendations from the Oklahoma Spay and Neuter Grant Program Advisory Board, which will consist of various stakeholders, including a private animal shelter representative, a veterinarian, and members from animal control and welfare organizations. Board members will not receive compensation but will be reimbursed for travel expenses.

Local governments and animal welfare organizations can apply for grants by submitting competitive proposals that target low-income communities and may include public education components. The Department will evaluate these proposals based on established standards and any additional rules it promulgates. The bill also includes an appropriation of $0.00 from the Special Cash Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, to implement the program, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
