The bill amends Section 3-312 of Title 29 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the program for wildlife habitat development on private lands. It establishes a framework for the Department of Wildlife Conservation to create multiyear contracts with landowners for various wildlife habitat activities, including maintenance and restoration. The bill also clarifies that participation in the program does not create a financial obligation for the state and that state revenue will not be used to cover damages or injuries related to the program.

Significantly, the bill introduces new legal protections for landowners participating in the program. It specifies that landowners owe no duty of care to individuals using their property for recreational purposes and do not assume liability for injuries incurred during such use. Additionally, the bill states that lands enrolled in the program are exempt from eminent domain, providing further security for landowners. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
