Chamber Passed·3/10/26

Oklahoma HB3405 designates poison hemlock and kudzu as noxious weeds and mandates their eradication by landowners and state agencies.

Oklahoma HB3405 amends the state's agricultural code to classify poison hemlock and kudzu as noxious weeds. It requires landowners to treat, control, or eradicate these weeds on their property, with failure to do so resulting in fines. Counties and state agencies must also treat, control, or eradicate these weeds on lands they own or lease to prevent them from going to seed. The State Department of Agriculture is tasked with inspecting infestations, assessing their extent, and determining the most appropriate treatment methods.
