HB 2741 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Game and fish; landowners; licenses; documentation; effective date.

HB 2741 amends Oklahoma law to allow nonresident landowners owning at least 160 acres of noncommercial land to use property tax records as proof of residency for hunting and fishing license exemptions, instead of standard residency documentation. This change directly affects nonresident landowners who meet the acreage requirement and wish to qualify for specific license exemptions under Section 4-112. The bill updates the licensing process by replacing the standard residency proof requirement with property tax documentation for these landowners. It does not alter other license provisions, such as validity periods, revocation rules, or wildlife check-in requirements for harvested game. The amendment focuses solely on simplifying documentation for qualifying landowners.
