HCR 1026 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

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

This concurrent resolution encourages Oklahoma residents, businesses, and institutions to reduce light pollution by turning off exterior lights and shielding interior lights during peak bird migration months. The bill specifically targets April, May, September, and October to help prevent birds from becoming disoriented and colliding with buildings or other structures. By supporting the Lights Out Oklahoma campaign, the legislature aims to protect migratory species that pass through the state while also promoting energy savings. This measure is non-binding and serves to express official support for voluntary actions rather than imposing new legal requirements.

What changed between versions

Engrossed Floor (House) · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' version (ready for final passage) to a 'Floor Version' intended for debate and amendment on the House floor. The content of the resolution remains substantively identical, but the formatting was updated to include a header indicating the 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature (2026) and a note that bold text denotes committee amendments. The final 'Adopted' signature lines were removed to allow for further legislative action.
TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the specific legislative session (2nd Session of the 60th Legislature, 2026) and added a note explaining that bold face text represents committee amendments.

The final 'Adopted' signature lines for both the House and Senate were removed, as this version is a draft for floor discussion rather than a finalized bill ready for signing.

Page numbers and internal document identifiers were changed to match the floor version format, while the substantive text regarding light pollution and bird migration remained unchanged.
