OK SB722

Amends the definition of "official identification" to prohibit electronic monitoring of cattle or bison younger than 18 months of age without the owner's consent.

Updates statutory language to replace "USDA" with "United States Department of Agriculture" and clarifies that backtags are not official identification unless animals are shipped directly to slaughter.

Authorizes the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry to promulgate rules for an Oklahoma Animal Identification Program only if the USDA, Congress, or another state establishes animal identification requirements.

Prohibits rules from electronically monitoring cattle or bison younger than 18 months of age without owner consent, and limits department fees to actual implementation and administration costs.

Requires animal identification data to be kept confidential except when needed for federal programs, disease control, law enforcement investigations, or pharmacy act violations; courts shall quash subpoenas for this confidential information.

Becomes effective November 1, 2025.
