Concurrent resolution; recognizing the impact of light pollution on bird mortality; encouraging Oklahomans to turn off exterior lights during the high migration intensity months.

This concurrent resolution formally recognizes the harm that artificial light pollution causes to migrating birds and encourages Oklahomans to turn off exterior lights during specific months. It directly addresses businesses, state agencies, organizations, and residents by asking them to switch off outdoor lighting in April, May, September, and October to help birds navigate safely. The measure highlights that many birds migrate at night and can become disoriented by bright lights, leading to exhaustion and deadly collisions with structures. By adopting this resolution, the legislature expresses support for the Lights Out Oklahoma campaign without imposing mandatory regulations or penalties.
