Bill No. 133 amends Section 1020.7 of Title 82 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to groundwater permit applications. The bill requires individuals intending to use groundwater to apply to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board for a permit before drilling or extracting water from existing wells. The application process will now include a requirement for applicants to provide documentation proving they possess a valid, unexpired driver's license issued in Oklahoma or a valid United States passport.

The bill also updates the language of the application process by replacing "make application" with "apply." It establishes that the application form will be provided by the Board and must adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the Board. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
