OK SB753

Requires lessees of state-owned property to remove a minimum of 85% of invasive woody species (Eastern Redcedar, Rocky Mountain juniper, oneseed juniper, and salt cedar) on phased schedule: 25% by end of year one, 45% by year two, 65% by year three, and 85% by year four, with 95% removal required for lease renewals.

Mandates lessees submit a management plan within 90 days of lease origination to the Oklahoma Conservation Commission and Commissioners of the Land Office outlining removal and maintenance strategies.

Reduces lease rates to offset documented removal costs, with specific reduction amounts agreed upon between lessee and state prior to lease origination; lessees may receive credits against lease payments.

Authorizes Commissioners of the Land Office to conduct annual inspections of leased lands for compliance and provide property descriptions detailing invasive species growth; appraisers determine fair market rental value considering improvements made under the act.

Upon first violation, provides 90-day notice to correct; non-compliance results in lease termination, eviction, and requirement to pay state restitution costs; lessees may contest findings within 30 days.

Becomes effective November 1, 2025.
