Bill Summary
An Act relating to animals; amending 4 O.S. 2021, Section 43, which relates to animal overpopulation; removing county population requirement for regulating or prohibiting the overpopulation of certain animals; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to remove a population requirement for county commissioners to regulate or prohibit the overpopulation of certain animals, specifically dogs, meaning any county in Oklahoma can now implement rules to control animal overpopulation, such as regulating or prohibiting dogs from running at large, impounding and disposing of them, or taxing owners, without needing to meet a minimum population threshold of 200,000 residents. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
