The Energy and Natural Resources Oversight Committee met and considered 18 bills spanning water training contracts, horse racing representation, meat labeling, renewable energy permitting, transmission siting, and oil-and-gas financial assurance. Committee members voted to report most bills as "do pass," with recorded tallies and several notable debates recorded on the meat-labeling and renewable-permitting bills.

The meeting began with House Bill 18 13, a clarification allowing the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to work with an existing Oklahoma nonprofit (the Oklahoma Rural Water Association) or another Oklahoma-based nonprofit for training. Representative Newton presented the bill and the committee recorded a vote of 12 ayes, 0 nays; the measure was reported as due pass.

Other bills that were reported as due pass with little or no debate included a repeal bill (House Bill 2,073; 12 ayes, 0 nays), an update to the Bureau of Standards language (House Bill 15 42; 15 ayes, 0 nays), and multiple bills related to pipelines and road grading (House Bill 16 66; 14 ayes, 0 nays). A bill asking the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to submit an annual report about Southwest Power Pool activities (House Bill 16 62) passed 15 ayes, 0 nays.

Representative Grego’s meat-labeling bill (House Bill 11 26) drew extended debate over scope and constitutional concerns; the committee voted to report that bill as due pass with a tally of 12 ayes, 3 nays.

A permitting proposal for new renewable generation projects (House Bill 21 55) — which would require a permitting process through the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and authorize fees tied to project size — was discussed at length. The committee reported that bill as due pass with a recorded vote of 13 ayes, 2 nays.

Two related bills about transmission and eminent-domain issues advanced. House Bill 27 52, which language prohibits eminent domain for economic development related to energy projects, passed 15 ayes, 0 nays. House Bill 27 56, described by the author as a "transmission developer act" establishing notification processes for adjacent landowners and county officials, passed as due pass with a tally of 12 ayes, 3 nays.

A package of oil- and gas-related measures was reported as due pass: House Bill 13 69 (tiered surety changes for plugging wells) passed 14 ayes, 1 nay; House Bill 13 70 (increasing funds to plug wells and aiming to increase annual plugging capacity) passed 14 ayes, 1 nay; House Bill 13 73 (adding decommissioning protections for landowners with solar facilities) passed 14 ayes, 0 nays; and House Bill 13 75 (commission study to evaluate risks and opportunities, including for nuclear and other generation technologies) passed 13 ayes, 1 nay.
