Resolution 45, introduced by McIntosh, expresses the Oklahoma Senate's formal opposition to the proposed Inola aluminum smelter project due to concerns about its potential environmental and public health impacts. The resolution highlights that the smelter could lead to significant emissions of harmful substances, which may adversely affect public health, agriculture, and overall quality of life in the region. It emphasizes the responsibility of local governments to carefully consider the long-term implications of such industrial developments on infrastructure, emergency services, and community growth.

The resolution calls for a thorough independent study of all environmental, agricultural, infrastructure, public safety, and fiscal concerns related to the project before any advancement is considered. Additionally, it stipulates that no public support should be granted unless there is full transparency regarding all financial incentives and subsidies associated with the project. Copies of the resolution are to be distributed to the Governor and the Department of Environmental Quality to ensure awareness and consideration of these concerns.
