HB 3659 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Game and fish; waterfowl; nonresidents; public land; fines; effective date.

HB 3659 requires most hunters to obtain a waterfowl hunting license or stamp in Oklahoma, with fees set at $20 for residents (18+) and $30 for nonresidents (18+). Nonresidents face specific restrictions: they may only hunt waterfowl on public lands south of I-40 and east of I-35 on Monday-Thursday during the second half of the season. Those arrested without a valid license can buy a temporary stamp ($100 for residents, $175 for nonresidents), with fees funding wetland conservation. Violations carry fines of $25-$500, and the law takes effect November 1, 2026.
