Waters and water rights; directing the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to conduct certain study; effective date.

HB 1323 directs Oklahoma's Water Resources Board to study the Kiamichi River's water flow and related impacts. The study must assess seasonal flow patterns, minimum ecological flow needs, water withdrawal capacity without harming the environment or existing rights, and potential effects of a proposed low-water dam on ecosystems, recreation, and communities. The Board must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to state leaders by December 31, 2026. This bill creates no immediate policy changes but mandates data collection to inform future water management decisions.
