HB 1031 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Sunset; Oklahoma Energy Resources Board; extending sunset year.

HB 1031 extends the operational deadline for the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026, by amending Section 288.3 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The Board, which coordinates public education about Oklahoma's oil and natural gas industry, promotes efficient energy use, supports environmentally sound production, and addresses historical oilfield environmental issues, will continue its work for one additional year. This procedural bill does not alter the Board's duties or funding but delays its automatic termination under the Sunset Law. The change directly affects the Board's ongoing operations and its ability to carry out its statutory purpose through 2026.
