The Salt Cedar Eradication Act establishes a comprehensive program aimed at controlling and eradicating invasive salt cedar species in Oklahoma's Upper Red River Basin. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF) will oversee the program in collaboration with the Oklahoma Conservation Commission and the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The Act defines key terms such as "Eligible Landowners," "Eradication," and "Salt Cedar," and outlines the program's purpose, which includes enhancing water resources, restoring native ecosystems, and protecting agricultural productivity. The program will involve conducting surveys, developing eradication strategies, providing assistance to landowners, and monitoring the effectiveness of these efforts.

Additionally, the Act creates the Salt Cedar Eradication Revolving Fund, which will be a continuous fund sourced from various contributions and grants to support the program's activities. The ODAFF is authorized to establish guidelines for participation, including penalties for noncompliance for landowners in high-priority areas. An annual report will be submitted to key state officials detailing the progress of eradication efforts, funding needs, and recommendations for ongoing management. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
