Resolution; light pollution; bird mortality; encouraging Oklahomans to turn off lights during peak migration.

This concurrent resolution (HCR 1014) encourages Oklahoma businesses, state agencies, organizations, and residents to voluntarily turn off exterior lighting during April, May, September, and October - peak migration months for birds. It aims to reduce bird disorientation and collisions with buildings caused by artificial light, which contributes to bird mortality. The resolution supports Oklahoma’s participation in the "Lights Out Oklahoma" campaign, aligning with similar efforts in other states. It does not create new laws or requirements but expresses legislative support for this voluntary conservation practice.
