Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has signed a bill that is raising the prices of hunting and fishing licenses for the first time in more than 20 years. The cost of an annual fishing license will now be $30 and those hunting from out of state will see a price increase of $200.

For hunters, this bill also consolidates the number of licenses from 50 to 14. The Wildlife Commission now must also make a report every five years to evaluate license costs and make a decision to either raise them or lower them based on the Consumer Price Index.
