SB 111 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Contractors; decreasing number of sewage disposal system installations for certain certification. Effective date.

SB 111 amends Oklahoma law to require certification from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for contractors installing more than 10 individual sewage disposal systems (like residential septic systems) per year. It establishes rules for certification requirements, annual fees, and penalties for noncompliance, while allowing DEQ employees to perform soil tests without certification. The bill directly affects residential septic system contractors who exceed the 10-installation threshold annually. The changes take effect November 1, 2025.
