This bill amends Section 7-208 of Title 29 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the payment of administrative fines for violations of rules set by the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission. The amendment allows individuals arrested for such violations to pay an administrative fine instead of posting a bond, specifically set at half of the current bond schedule. New provisions include that the fine can be paid in person or online, and that the payment must be made within seven days of the arrest. Additionally, the fine amount will be rounded to the nearest five-dollar increment.

The bill also stipulates that all fines collected will be directed to the Department of Wildlife Conservation and deposited into the Wildlife Conservation Fund, which is designated for the development, management, conservation, and protection of wildlife and its habitat. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026.
