Bill > HR1032

This resolution officially proclaims February 17, 2026, as Oklahoma Aggregates Day at the Capitol, recognizing the vital role of the aggregates industry in the state. Aggregates are the fundamental materials like rock, sand, gravel, and gypsum that form the basis of all infrastructure, from roads and bridges to buildings and even supporting the oil and natural gas sector through fracking sand. The resolution highlights that this industry is a significant economic driver for Oklahoma, generating nearly $1 billion annually, supporting over 8,450 jobs, and contributing substantial wages that are higher than the state average. It further acknowledges that Oklahoma aggregates are the primary construction material used by various government entities, including the Department of Transportation, Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, and local governments, as well as by real estate developers and homebuilders, underscoring their importance for the state's development and economy.
