Summary

The proposed new rules provide for an approval and transfer process for approved improvements placed upon Commissioners of the Land Office agricultural lands leased by the public. Prior to the passing of SB951 (2025), improvements placed upon agency lands by agricultural lessees were either removed at the end of the lease term or privately transferred to the next lessee. SB951 (2025) made changes to 64 O.S. §1023(C) requiring the Commissioners of the Land Office to appraise approved improvements and require, through lease terms, that incoming lessees purchase approved improvements from the outgoing lessee. SB951 (2025) added 64 O.S. §1023(F), requiring the Commissioners of the Land Office to promulgate rules to carry out the changes to the law.
