Bill > HB2175

This bill proposes to create a new law that completely exempts swine farms from all fire suppression requirements and fire codes at the state, county, and municipal levels. By establishing this exemption, the legislation would remove any mandatory fire safety regulations that currently apply to swine farms, potentially reducing compliance costs and regulatory burdens for these agricultural operations. The bill specifies that this new provision will be codified as Section 8001 of Title 63 in the Oklahoma Statutes and will go into effect on November 1, 2025. This means that from that date forward, swine farms in Oklahoma would not be required to follow any existing fire prevention or fire suppression standards that are typically mandated for other types of agricultural or commercial facilities, which could have significant implications for fire safety in these agricultural settings.
