The bill amends Section 3-103a of Title 29 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to special permits for designated wildlife species. It allows the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission to authorize the Department of Wildlife Conservation to issue up to five special permits each year for designated species, expanding the opportunities to acquire these permits. The new provisions include the ability to sell these permits through public auction, sealed bid, raffle, or lottery, and specifically state that permits for mountain lions and species without an open season will be conducted by raffle.

Additionally, the bill introduces co-branding of the special permits in association with the Governor and allows the Department to partner with nonprofit organizations or charitable causes to facilitate the public auctions. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
