HB 4147 amends Oklahoma's trapping license requirements for furbearers, coyotes, and feral hogs. It directly affects landowners, tenants, and professional trappers by exempting agricultural landowners and tenants from needing a trapping license to use snares year-round for coyotes and feral hogs on their property, with no limit on the number trapped. The bill maintains license fees ($9 for ≤20 traps, $68.50 for professional trappers) and sets penalties for violations, including fines up to $1,000 for non-compliance. The changes take effect November 1, 2026.
