Senate Bill No. 940 mandates the Oklahoma Conservation Commission to develop and implement a statewide plan for the control, removal, and eradication of harmful woody species on state-owned, -leased, or -operated land. The bill requires a comprehensive report to be compiled by various state agencies, including the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, and presented to the Commission by January 1, 2026. This report will assess the affected inventory and outline strategies for managing harmful woody species. Additionally, the specified agencies must submit annual progress reports to the Legislature starting November 1, 2026.

The bill defines "harmful woody species" as tree or shrub species that threaten the environment or economy, listing specific examples such as Eastern Redcedar and salt cedar. The Oklahoma Conservation Commission is also authorized to promulgate necessary rules to facilitate the implementation of this plan. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate enforcement upon passage and approval.
