HB 2741 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 2741 modifies Oklahoma's hunting and fishing license rules to allow nonresident landowners with 160 or more acres of noncommercial property to use property tax records as proof of eligibility instead of standard residency requirements. This change applies specifically to certain license exemptions listed under existing law (Section 4-112). Landowners must provide proof of property ownership and last year's property taxes to qualify for these exemptions. The bill does not alter other license terms, such as expiration dates, revocation procedures, or wildlife check station requirements.
