There is a bill in Oklahoma to require any storm chaser to have a license to storm chase in Oklahoma. SB 158 authored by Sen. Mark Mann (D- District 46), called the Oklahoma Emergency Weather Response and Tracking Regulatory Act of 2025, seeks to establish a framework for professional severe weather trackers in Oklahoma.
The requirements proposed in the bill are as follows:
Violations of the act can lead up to a $500.00 fine or revocation of the tracker’s license.
If the bill becomes law, it would take effect July 1, 2025.
Reed Timmer is not happy with this.
