SB 1007 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Conservation District Act; modifying definitions. Effective date.

SB 1007 updates definitions in Oklahoma's Conservation District Act to clarify key terms. It specifically revises the definition of "soil scientist" to require a soil science degree with specific coursework and two years of related experience, and updates terms like "nonpoint source" and "pollution" to align with existing environmental laws. These changes directly affect conservation districts, their directors, and professionals working on soil and water conservation projects. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, and does not create new policies or alter program requirements.
