Resolution No. 1014, introduced by Hefner and Archer in the House and Nice in the Senate, addresses the significant impact of light pollution on bird mortality during migration periods. The resolution encourages Oklahoma businesses, state agencies, organizations, and residents to turn off exterior lighting during the high migration months of April, May, September, and October. It highlights the importance of birds in maintaining ecological balance, their role in pest control, pollination, and the economic benefits of birdwatching in Oklahoma. The resolution also emphasizes the need for safe passage for migratory birds, particularly as many species navigate using natural light from stars and the moon, which can be disrupted by artificial lighting.

The resolution aligns with the Lights Out Oklahoma campaign, which aims to reduce bird collisions with buildings and other structures, a leading cause of bird mortality in the U.S. By advocating for reduced exterior lighting during critical migration times, the resolution not only seeks to protect avian populations but also promotes energy conservation and cost savings. Oklahoma joins other states in this initiative, reflecting a collective effort to safeguard migratory birds and enhance the state's natural environment. The resolution was adopted by the House of Representatives on April 22, 2025.
