This bill amends Section 5-60.6 of Title 2 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the authority of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to establish rules. The amendment specifically requires that the rules include provisions allowing the use of out-of-state poultry processing plants when in-state options are not available. This change aims to enhance the flexibility and options available for poultry processing in Oklahoma.

The effective date for this amendment is set for November 1, 2026. By allowing out-of-state processors to be utilized, the bill seeks to address potential shortages or limitations in local processing capabilities, thereby supporting the agricultural sector in Oklahoma.
