HB 1502 appropriates $4 million from the General Revenue Fund for the construction of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) facilities at an industrial park in Oklahoma, and $1.4 million for their operation, both for the 2026 fiscal year. These funds directly support the Oklahoma Department of Commerce in building and running HAZMAT facilities to protect residents living near industrial parks where large-scale economic activity may occur. The bill specifies the exact funding amounts, source (unallocated General Revenue Fund), and effective date (July 1, 2025), with an emergency declaration enabling immediate implementation. It focuses solely on providing concrete financial resources for facility construction and operation, with no new regulations or policy changes beyond the funding allocation.
