Agriculture; burn bans; declaring extreme fire danger; emergency.

HB 1552 amends Oklahoma law to clarify burn ban authority during fire emergencies. It gives the Governor power to declare drought emergencies that override county-level burn bans, while allowing county commissioners to declare "extreme fire danger" based on specific conditions like drought, low rainfall forecasts, high temperatures, and fire data. Agricultural producers (farmers/ranchers) can burn cropland or rangeland under a prescribed burn plan, which must include weather details, firebreaks, and notification procedures to local fire departments and landowners. The plan is automatically approved 72 hours after submission, but county bans still apply to non-agricultural burning like campfires or trash.
