Bill > HB3124

This bill directs the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to stop requiring livestock to have radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, which are electronic tags used for tracking animals and preventing the spread of diseases, as mandated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Instead, the department is instructed to work with other states that regulate livestock to create agreements, or "compacts," that would permit the sale of livestock without these RFID tags between participating states. These proposed compacts must then be presented to the leaders of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and Senate for approval, and no existing state law or rule can hinder the formation of these compacts, with the changes taking effect on November 1, 2026.
