This bill establishes new regulations concerning the humane treatment of livestock and poultry involved in vehicular accidents in Oklahoma. It defines "livestock" and "poultry" and mandates that the State Board of Agriculture create rules for their humane treatment. Additionally, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry is tasked with providing guidance to county emergency management organizations on how to handle such situations.
Furthermore, the bill requires that any wrecker or towing service responding to an accident involving livestock or poultry must immediately notify the relevant county emergency management organization. This organization is then responsible for assisting in the humane treatment and disposition of the animals, following the established rules and guidance. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
