This bill amends Section 7 of Title 27 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the use of eminent domain for electricity and natural gas facilities. It clarifies that entities engaged in providing electricity or natural gas have the right to exercise eminent domain, but it explicitly prohibits the use of eminent domain for the siting or construction of renewable energy facilities, including solar energy, battery storage, and hydrogen gas facilities, on private property.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement that any entity seeking to exercise eminent domain for electric transmission facilities rated over 300 kilovolts must first obtain a Certificate of Authority from the Corporation Commission, if mandated under Title 17 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
