Invasive woody species; creating the Oklahoma Invasive Woody Species Stewardship for State-Leased Lands Act. Effective date.
SB 2169 creates the "Oklahoma Invasive Woody Species Stewardship for State-Leased Lands Act" to protect trust lands held for school funding from invasive plants like Eastern Redcedar and salt cedar. The Oklahoma Land Office Commissioners are authorized to manage these species on trust lands by creating annual removal plans, coordinating with agencies like the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, and spending up to $1 million yearly. The bill requires the Commission to submit annual reports to the Legislature detailing progress and to prioritize lands harmed by invasive species. This directly affects the management of trust assets that fund Oklahoma's public schools, aiming to prevent further environmental and economic harm to these resources.
