Transportation; defining term; requiring Oklahoma Department of Transportation establish and implement certain program; effective date.
HB 1822 requires the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to create a program managing invasive woody species - like Eastern Redcedar and salt cedar - in areas along state roads (rights-of-way). The program must include surveys to identify these plants, prioritize removal, use eco-friendly methods to protect native vegetation, monitor for regrowth, and partner with other agencies. This directly affects ODOT’s operations and landowners near state road corridors where these species threaten ecosystems or infrastructure. The bill died in committee on May 30, 2025, and is not law.
