SB 1471 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Municipal powers; authorizing certain fee related to solid waste management systems. Effective date.

SB 1471 authorizes Oklahoma cities and towns to levy targeted fees on retail delivery, single-use products, and plastic containers to fund solid waste management. These fees must be narrowly tailored to actual waste generation costs and can be charged per transaction or delivery. Revenue from these fees is restricted to specific waste management uses, including collection, recycling, litter cleanup, public education, and reducing environmental harm from waste. The bill also modifies plastic container labeling rules to clarify that local governments cannot broadly restrict plastic use, but may implement narrowly focused waste-reduction fees.
