The bill amends Section 288.3 of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board, extending the Board's existence until July 1, 2031. This re-creation is in accordance with the Oklahoma Sunset Law, which mandates periodic review of state agencies. The Oklahoma Energy Resources Board is tasked with promoting the oil and natural gas industry in Oklahoma, encouraging efficient energy use, supporting environmentally sound production methods, and addressing historical environmental issues related to oilfields.

The key change in the bill is the modification of the termination date for the Board, moving it from 2025 to 2031. This extension allows the Board to continue its efforts in education, research, and remediation related to the oil and natural gas sector, ensuring ongoing support for the industry and its environmental responsibilities.
