Oklahoma Farmed Cervidae Act; creating a commercial harvesting facility license. Effective date. Emergency.

Oklahoma Senate Bill 1074 creates a new "commercial harvesting facility license" for businesses operating hunting facilities that profit from legally acquired cervidae (like deer, elk, and exotic species), turkey, or hybrids. It requires these facilities to obtain a $300 annual license from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, prove animals were not sourced from wild populations, and undergo inspections. The bill updates existing laws by replacing "commercial hunting area" licenses with this new license structure, effective July 2025, and mandates facilities to maintain inventories of animals. It directly affects commercial hunting operations seeking to sell or barter hunted animals for profit.
