OK SB809

Municipalities, counties, and political subdivisions may enact reasonable ordinances regarding road use, traffic, noise, and odors related to oil and gas operations, provided they comply with state regulations and Corporation Commission rules.

Political subdivisions may establish reasonable setbacks and fencing requirements for oil and gas well sites to protect public health, safety, and welfare, but cannot effectively prohibit or ban any oil and gas operations.

All oil and gas operations—including exploration, drilling, fracture stimulation, completion, production, maintenance, plugging, abandonment, water disposal, secondary recovery, and pipeline infrastructure—are subject to exclusive Corporation Commission jurisdiction except where otherwise specified.

Political subdivisions may regulate development in one-hundred-year floodplains only to the minimum extent necessary to maintain National Flood Insurance Program eligibility.

Repeals 52 O.S. 2011, Section 137, which previously granted cities and towns powers to regulate oil and gas drilling or production.
