This bill mandates that all commercial pet breeders in Oklahoma must include their commercial pet breeder's license number in any advertisements for pet sales. This requirement aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the pet breeding industry. Additionally, the bill directs the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to create rules for the implementation and enforcement of this requirement, which will include the establishment of fines for breeders who fail to comply.
The new law will be codified as Section 30.17 of Title 4 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. This legislative measure seeks to improve the regulation of commercial pet breeding practices in the state, ensuring that consumers can verify the legitimacy of breeders before making a purchase.
