The bill, known as House Bill No. 1822, mandates the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to establish a program aimed at the identification, removal, and management of invasive woody species within its rights-of-way. The legislation defines "invasive woody species" as tree or shrub species that threaten the environment or economy, specifically naming several species such as Eastern Redcedar and salt cedar. The program will include surveys to assess the extent of these species, a prioritized eradication plan, best management practices for removal, monitoring efforts to prevent reestablishment, and collaboration with various agencies and organizations.

The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The new law will be codified as Section 1239 of Title 69 in the Oklahoma Statutes, unless there is a duplication in numbering. The legislation aims to address the ecological and economic impacts of invasive species through a structured and cooperative approach.
