The Oklahoma Food Policy Council Act establishes the Oklahoma Food Policy Council within the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry. The Council will consist of nine members appointed by the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, with staggered terms of three years. The Council is tasked with promoting sustainable locally grown food, supporting farm-to-school initiatives, and enhancing access to local food through collaboration with various stakeholders, including farmers, community gardens, and local organizations. Members will not receive compensation but can be reimbursed for travel expenses.

The Council will operate in an advisory and coordinating capacity, focusing on creating networks to connect farmers with local organizations, assessing the impact of sustainable food production on economic development, and improving public health through urban and community gardens. Additionally, the Council is required to comply with the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act and the Oklahoma Open Records Act, and it must submit an annual report to the Governor and legislative leaders. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
