Bill > SB613

This bill requires the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office to establish a statewide hotline for citizens to report water quality concerns. Under this new law, the Attorney General's Office will work directly with the Department of Environmental Quality to investigate water-related complaints, with the authority to conduct water quality sampling, testing, and take necessary enforcement actions. The Attorney General is also granted the power to create rules that will guide the implementation of this hotline system. The legislation will become effective on November 1, 2025, and will be codified as Section 2-6-121 of Title 27A in the Oklahoma Statutes. The primary goal of this bill appears to be creating a centralized, accessible mechanism for Oklahoma residents to report potential water quality issues and ensure that these concerns are promptly and thoroughly addressed by state authorities.
