Bill > SB1933

This bill prohibits certain activities related to water use and infrastructure along specific sections of the Kiamichi and Glover Rivers in Oklahoma, defining "immediate vicinity" as within ten miles of a river's main channel, "industrial water" as water used for various manufacturing, mining, and energy extraction purposes, and "nonlocal" as a municipality or county outside this immediate vicinity. Specifically, it makes it unlawful to divert water, including industrial water, for nonlocal municipalities or counties for sale, profit, power generation, or battery or data storage, or to divert water for nonlocal agricultural purposes. The bill also prohibits the construction of dams, impoundments, or diversion structures within these river sections, and restricts local farming, ranching, silviculture, forestry, or other agricultural uses and practices. However, these prohibitions do not apply to existing practices or structures that were in place before the bill's effective date of November 1, 2026.
