SB2138

Oklahoma SB2138 modifies the Oklahoma Controlled Burn Indemnity Fund, requiring landowners to create prescribed burn plans and notifying adjoining.

Oklahoma SB2138 amends the Oklahoma Controlled Burn Indemnity Fund, renaming it the Oklahoma Controlled Prescribed Burn Indemnity Fund. It requires landowners to develop a written prescribed burn plan, including details such as firebreaks, weather conditions, and manpower. Landowners must notify adjoining landowners and local fire departments of the burn at least 60 days prior. The bill mandates a $250 filing fee for the burn plan and limits reimbursement from the fund to ensure it compensates landowners for losses incurred from prescribed burns.
