Game wardens; requiring consent of property owner to enter property without probable cause; establishing gunshots do not constitute probable cause. Effective date,

SB 2164 requires Oklahoma game wardens to obtain a property owner's consent before entering private land without a valid legal reason, and specifically states that hearing gunshots alone does not constitute sufficient cause for entry. This bill directly affects landowners and game wardens by changing entry procedures on private property. The key provision clarifies that game wardens must secure permission from the owner to investigate potential violations on private land, rather than relying on the sound of gunshots as justification. The bill amends existing law to explicitly define these requirements without altering other game warden duties.
