HB 1382 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Agriculture; Oklahoma Farmed Cervidae Act; Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry; inspection authority; license fee; rule promulgation authority; emergency.

HB 1382 establishes a new licensing system for facilities that commercially harvest captive-raised cervidae (such as deer, elk, and hybrids) for profit. It requires these facilities to obtain an annual $300 license, submit proof that animals were not sourced from wild Oklahoma populations, and comply with inspections by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. The bill also replaces the previous "commercial hunting area" license under Section 4-106 of state law, updating fee structures and inspection protocols. This directly affects commercial hunting operations that breed and hunt wildlife on private premises for monetary gain.
