House Bill No. 1421 amends the licensing process for animal shelter operators and commercial pet breeders in Oklahoma. The bill changes the required notice period for license expiration from sixty (60) days to ninety (90) days, ensuring that operators and breeders receive adequate time to renew their licenses. Additionally, the bill mandates the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to implement an online renewal and payment option by January 1, 2026, streamlining the renewal process for these entities.

The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025. By enhancing the notification timeline and introducing online renewal capabilities, the bill aims to facilitate compliance with licensing requirements and improve operational efficiency for animal shelters and commercial pet breeders in the state.
