This bill amends Section 16-26 of Title 2 of the Oklahoma Statutes to expand the definition of "extreme fire danger" to include a Red Flag Warning issued by the National Weather Service (NWS). The bill outlines that it is unlawful for individuals to set fires or burn materials in areas where a burn ban is in effect due to extreme fire danger, which can now be declared based on the issuance of a Red Flag Warning or specific drought conditions. The bill also stipulates that county commissioners can call emergency meetings to declare or revoke burn bans, and it requires documented concurrence from local fire chiefs regarding the existence of extreme fire danger.

Additionally, the bill provides exemptions for agricultural producers conducting prescribed burns, provided they follow specific notification and planning procedures. It establishes that any resolutions passed by county commissioners regarding burn bans will take effect immediately and must be communicated to relevant authorities and the public. The bill also includes provisions for signage related to burn bans and outlines penalties for violations. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
