Senate Bill No. 448 amends existing wildlife regulations in Oklahoma, specifically addressing the use of state and federal wildlife refuges and Wildlife Management Areas. The bill requires nonresident hunters to obtain permission from the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission before using these areas for hunting, killing, or trapping wildlife. It establishes a lottery system for distributing permits to nonresidents, with a permit fee capped at $100. Additionally, the Commission is tasked with promulgating necessary rules to implement these changes.

The bill also updates statutory language and modifies penalties for violations of these provisions. Specifically, it sets fines for violations at a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $1,000, along with potential jail time for first offenses. Subsequent violations will lead to the suspension of hunting privileges in the affected areas. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
