This should be a no-brainer.
If public officials are working for the people, they should never be silenced by nondisclosure agreements about their official duties.
HB 3030 simply says:
- You donβt get to serve the public and keep secrets from them.
- No elected or appointed official should be required or allowed to sign an NDA that limits transparency about government business.
- If it involves public office, public decisions, or public resources, the public has a right to know.
This bill:
- βοΈ Strengthens transparency
- βοΈ Reinforces accountability
- βοΈ Protects whistleblowers and honest officials
- βοΈ Prevents backroom deals disguised as βconfidentialityβ
It does not interfere with:
- Legitimate litigation strategy
- Truly personal or private matters unrelated to public office
- Existing public records laws or ethical safeguards
Bottom line
If lawmakers believe in:
- Open government
- Accountability
- Serving constituents over special interests
HB 3030 should pass unanimously.
Any opposition to this bill raises a simple question:
What are they trying to hide?
Bill needs to pass!

Anyone with a valid Oklahoma handgun license may carry a concealed handgun through the State Capitol building security checkpoint if attended by a peace officer, after presenting their license. Officers cannot inspect or remove concealed handguns or restrain licensed carriers without probable cause of a crime.
21 states allow the carrying of handguns in the capitol building including 5 surrounding states: New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas.
A very good bill!

The good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action for health care liability arose shall extend the limitation of action of said period until one year after the good faith belief no longer existed.
This bill gives people a fair chance to file a health care lawsuit. Because of the lack of access to the court system, people honestly thought the federal law was blocking them. This bill simply asks the legislature to 'make law' what the courts have already established in multiple decisions.

Much needed bill, but can you add something about writing retaliatory legislation against citizen whistleblowers to this? I can personally testify on this happening multiple times in our state.
"NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 25001 of Title 74, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows: It is the public policy of this state to protect those persons disclosing wrongdoing by state agencies, political subdivisions, public trusts, and those in the private sector who have supervisory or other controls over persons in their workplace who report wrongdoing without fear or threat of retaliation. Such persons reporting wrongdoing shall be known as "whistleblowers". SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 25002 of Title 74, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows: A. As used in this section, "retaliation" means any threat or action to terminate, demote, refusal to promote, threaten or intimidate a whistleblower who reports wrongdoing. B. Any public official and/or employee, employer or employee who supervises a whistleblower that engages in an action or activity that violated public policy as defined in Section 1 of this act for reporting wrongdoing shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by incarceration for up to one (1) year and a Five Thousand Dollar ($5,000.00) fine, and liable civilly for all economic, emotional and mental anguish directly caused thereby together with punitive damages, and such person shall be prohibited from holding any public office or employment. C. Any whistleblower who successfully prosecutes an action under this act shall be entitled to a reasonable attorney fee together with costs.
