HB 3007 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Environment and natural resources; advisory councils; sunset; effective date; emergency.

HB 3007 extends the expiration dates for four Oklahoma environmental advisory councils until July 1, 2027, instead of their original 2026 sunset. The bill specifies membership requirements for each council: the Water Quality Council (12 members), Hazardous Waste Council (9 members), Solid Waste Council (10 members), and Radiation Management Council (9 members), with appointments split between the Governor, House Speaker, and Senate President. Each council must include specific representatives (e.g., industry, environmental groups, local government) and follows defined terms and removal procedures. These councils advise state agencies on water quality, waste management, and environmental protection policies. The bill does not create new regulations but ensures existing advisory structures continue operating.
