The bill amends Section 801.5 of Title 17 of the Oklahoma Statutes to establish natural gas as the preferred fuel source for new electricity generation facilities. It emphasizes the importance of promoting natural gas energy development to leverage the state's abundant natural gas resources and its compatibility with renewable energy sources like wind. The bill removes references to "fossil fuel" in the context of electricity generation, thereby focusing solely on natural gas as the preferred choice for new generating facilities.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it is the state's intent for new generating facilities and any added capacity to existing facilities to be powered by natural gas. It allows electricity generating entities that choose a different fuel source to provide evidence to the appropriate regulatory body that their choice is in the best interest of consumers. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency declaration for its immediate implementation upon passage.
