Bill > SB1151

This bill appropriates a total of $4.2 million from the Progressing Rural Economic Prosperity Fund to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board for three specific water infrastructure projects. The first allocation of $2 million is designated to help a rural water sewer and solid waste management district in the central region of Oklahoma address private water well contamination by connecting the area to a public water supply. The second $2 million is earmarked for constructing water lines in a specific county with a population between 150,000 and 200,000 that is not located near an interstate highway. The final $200,000 will be used to establish grant programs supporting water and wastewater infrastructure design, construction, and maintenance, as well as improving the condition of publicly owned dams regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to emphasize its immediate importance for public health and safety, which would allow the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
