HB4128

Oklahoma HB4128 amends wildlife season rules, including archery and bowfishing periods, and the Wildlife Conservation Commission's authority.

Oklahoma HB4128 modifies the Wildlife Conservation Commission's authority to set open seasons for wildlife, including archery periods starting no later than September 15 and bowfishing seasons on the Upper Illinois River. The Commission can declare open seasons based on normal wildlife populations and agricultural compatibility. It also allows for senior citizen hunting days and requires special permits for participation. The bill specifies that administrative orders must be published in a newspaper of general state circulation before taking effect.
