Game and fish; allowing for possession of captive-bred alligators without permits. Effective date.

SB 2087 removes the permit requirement for owning alligators bred in captivity (hatched from eggs kept in human care), but bans owning alligators born in the wild or their wild-hatched eggs. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation will create rules to enforce these changes, and violating the law carries fines up to $500 or 30 days in jail. This directly affects alligator owners, breeders, and wildlife handlers by changing possession rules. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
