Bill > HB1031

This bill extends the sunset date for the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board (OERB) from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2031. The OERB is a state board with a multifaceted mission to promote Oklahoma's oil and natural gas industry through public education, energy efficiency advocacy, environmental stewardship, resource development, and research support. By re-creating the board under the Oklahoma Sunset Law, the legislation ensures that the OERB will continue to operate and fulfill its objectives for an additional six years. The sunset provision means that the board will be automatically terminated on the specified date unless further legislative action is taken to continue its existence, which provides a periodic review mechanism for state agencies and boards to assess their ongoing relevance and effectiveness.
