Private citizens can get compliance funds

The Board can allocate program money to private citizens or private entities. Funds support environmental compliance and management programs. This option is available starting July 1, 2026.

Law takes effect now; program 2026

The law declares an emergency and is in force upon passage and approval. Most program features, including loans, begin July 1, 2026.

New water and sewer loan program

The Oklahoma Water Resources Board runs a new Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Investment Program. It offers competitive loans to eligible entities for water and sewer projects, and for planning tied to workforce housing and business site readiness. The law creates a revolving fund to finance these loans. Loan repayments and interest stay in the fund to support future projects. The Board sets the loan rules and can use fund dollars for planning help, risk checks, and program reserves.

Loans require payback if terms broken

All program loans include a clawback. If a recipient fails to meet the loan contract, they must repay all or part of the loan. This rule applies starting July 1, 2026.
