This bill establishes new regulations regarding water use in specific areas of Oklahoma, particularly focusing on the Kiamichi River and Glover River. It defines key terms such as "immediate vicinity," "industrial water," and "nonlocal," and prohibits certain actions within designated sections of these rivers. Specifically, it makes it unlawful to divert water for nonlocal municipalities or counties, engage in nonlocal agricultural practices, construct dams or diversion structures, or conduct local farming and ranching activities within the specified areas. However, the bill includes an exception for existing practices or structures that were in place prior to the act's effective date.

The legislation will be codified as Section 1820 of Title 82 in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026. The intent of the bill is to protect the water resources in the specified river areas from external exploitation and to ensure sustainable management of local water supplies.
