HJR 1003 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Constitution; eminent domain; wind energy projects; ballot title; filing.

This proposed constitutional amendment would restrict Oklahoma's use of eminent domain (government power to take private land) for wind energy projects and related transmission lines under two conditions: if the project receives 3% or more in federal funding or uses federal tax incentives. It specifically prohibits taking land for wind turbines themselves or for transmission lines serving wind/solar projects meeting these federal support thresholds. The amendment does not affect voluntary land sales between property owners and developers, nor does it apply to energy projects without federal funding or tax incentives. It aims to protect private property rights regarding certain federally supported energy infrastructure.
