Bill Summary
An Act relating to the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission; amending 29 O.S. 2021, Section 5-401, which relates to authority to declare open seasons on wildlife; requiring certain periods to begin after certain date; conforming statutory reference; updating statutory language; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Oklahoma law concerning wildlife conservation, specifically by updating the authority of the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission regarding open hunting seasons. The key change is that any open season declared for black bears must now include a muzzleloader period and an archery period that begins no earlier than September 1st of each year. The bill also makes a minor technical correction by replacing the pronoun "they" with "the Commission" in a section detailing how the Commission can adjust hunting seasons and limits based on wildlife populations and their impact on agriculture. Finally, the bill declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
