Summary

The bill changes Oklahoma’s feral swine laws so anyone transporting live feral swine must get a license from the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry and can only move the animals to approved sporting, handling, or slaughter facilities, or under a state veterinarian order. It also narrows the circumstances under which a swine can be released, making illegal releases a felony with fines. The changes aim to tighten control of invasive hogs and protect landowners.
