Wildlife; exempting individuals breeding and raising quail from licensure. Effective date.

SB 561 exempts individuals in Oklahoma from needing a wildlife breeder's license when breeding or raising quail for personal consumption, hobby, education, scientific purposes, or releasing on private property. The bill amends state law to remove licensing requirements specifically for quail breeding, while maintaining other wildlife licensing rules for commercial or non-quail activities. It directly affects Oklahoma residents engaging in noncommercial quail breeding for personal use. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
