Senate Bill No. 1082 amends the Commercial Pet Breeders and Animal Shelter Licensing Act by extending the time for license renewal from sixty (60) days to ninety (90) days before the expiration of the license. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry is required to send written notice of the impending license expiration to the animal shelter operator or commercial pet breeder at their last-known address. Additionally, the bill mandates the Department to provide an online renewal and payment platform by January 1, 2026.

The bill aims to streamline the renewal process for animal shelter operators and commercial pet breeders, ensuring they have adequate time to renew their licenses without interruption to their operations. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
