Mining Commission

The Oklahoma Legislature abolished the State Mining Board and replaced it with the Oklahoma Mining Commission in 1985. The Commission is a nine-member board that serves as the governing body of the Department and is responsible for approving the Department's budget, establishing policy and appointing the Director of the Department. The members of the Commission are appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate. All members serve seven year staggered terms. The membership of the Commission consists of one person with experience in each of the following fields: engineering or geology, labor or worker's safety, agriculture or soil conservation, transportation, economic development or banking, public utilities, natural resources, and two persons selected at large.
