Bill > HB2693

This bill introduces the Waters and Water Rights Reform Act of 2025, which appears to be a piece of legislation establishing a new legal framework for water and water rights in Oklahoma. The bill provides two primary provisions: first, it creates a new legal act with a specific name that can be referenced as the "Waters and Water Rights Reform Act of 2025", and second, it sets an official effective date of November 1, 2025. While the provided text does not detail the substantive changes to water rights law, it serves as a procedural introduction to a potential broader reform of water regulations. The bill is structured as a non-codified law, meaning its provisions will not be permanently integrated into the existing Oklahoma Statutes, but will instead stand as a separate piece of legislation. The enactment clause indicates this law is being enacted by the people of the State of Oklahoma, suggesting it may have gone through a public referendum or voter approval process.
