Waters and water rights; directing the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to conduct certain study; effective date.

HB 1323 directs Oklahoma's Water Resources Board to study the Kiamichi River's water flow and related impacts. The study must assess annual flow rates (including drought/flood periods), determine ecological flow needs, evaluate water removal limits without harming the environment or other users, and analyze effects of a proposed low-water dam on water movement, ecosystems, and recreation. The Board must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to state leaders by December 31, 2026. This bill does not change water rights or regulations but aims to inform future policy decisions. It becomes effective November 1, 2025.
