This bill amends Section 2-2-201 of Title 27A of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to various advisory councils related to environmental and natural resource management. The primary change is the extension of the sunset date for the re-creation of these councils from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. The councils affected include the Water Quality Management Advisory Council, the Hazardous Waste Management Advisory Council, the Solid Waste Management Advisory Council, and the Radiation Management Advisory Council. Each council is composed of members appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, with specific qualifications and terms outlined for each member.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the councils' authority to recommend rules to the Board, conduct public hearings, and provide a forum for discussion on relevant issues. It also stipulates that members will serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, but includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval, highlighting its urgency for public health and safety.
