Bill Summary
An Act relating to oil and gas; amending 52 O.S. 2021, Section 86.7, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 249, O.S.L. 2024 (52 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 86.7), which relates to definitions; modifying definition; amending 52 O.S. 2021, Section 86.8, which relates to the Oklahoma Brine Production Act; making certain exception for the extraction of iodine; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "constituent elements" within the Oil and Gas Produced Water and Waste Recycling and Reuse Act to exclude iodine, meaning iodine extracted from oil and gas produced water and waste will not be subject to the same regulations as other constituent elements. Additionally, it amends the Oklahoma Brine Development Act to create an exception: produced water and waste transferred to or purchased by iodine producers for the commercial extraction of iodine will not be considered "brine" under that act, thus exempting it from its specific requirements. This change aims to facilitate the commercial extraction of iodine from these sources. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
