Senate Bill No. 561 amends Section 4-121 of Title 29 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to noncommercial wildlife breeders' licenses. The bill updates the statutory language to clarify that individuals breeding or raising certain wildlife, specifically quail, for personal consumption or noncommercial purposes—including hobby, education, scientific purposes, or for release on private property—will no longer be required to obtain a license. Additionally, the bill specifies that licenses must be procured from the Director of the Department of Wildlife Conservation and that all licenses will expire annually on June 30.

The bill also removes references to the "State of Oklahoma" in favor of a more streamlined reference to "this state." The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for November 1, 2025. This legislation aims to simplify the licensing process for individuals engaged in noncommercial wildlife breeding, particularly for quail, thereby promoting personal and educational activities related to wildlife.
