HB 3865 allows Oklahoma residents to enter state parks for free by presenting proof of residency, such as a driver's license. This policy change directly affects all Oklahoma residents who visit state parks, removing the current entry fee requirement for them. The bill amends Oklahoma Statutes to codify this free access provision, effective November 1, 2026. It does not alter park operations, funding, or fees for non-residents.
