Amends regarding standardized subject matter standards, graduation requirements, establishing set curriculum of 23 units for all 8-12 grade students.

HB 3021 looks less like education reform and more like lowering the bar to meet labor shortages, which ultimately shortchanges students and families.

Aligns with a workforce agenda by lowering and reshaping graduation requirements through waivers and alternative diplomas, prioritizing labor needs over consistent academic standards and long-term student readiness.

SB 248 turns state asset sales into agency-controlled funding streams—with less oversight and more opportunity for quiet expansion.

Expands Agency Spending Power

This is the big one.

Instead of:

• Property sale → general fund → legislative oversight

It becomes:

• Property sale → agency-controlled revolving fund

That means less direct legislative control over spending

Incentivizes Selling State Assets

“Revolving Fund” = Less Transparency

Quiet Government Growth Mechanism

This is one of those bills that:

• Sounds harmless (“park maintenance funding”)
• But quietly shifts who controls the money

The real issue:

Should agencies be allowed to fund themselves by selling state assets and keeping the proceeds?

Questions to Pressure Legislators

• Why shouldn’t proceeds from state asset sales go through the general fund for oversight?
• What prevents agencies from:
• Selling valuable land
• Expanding budgets without legislative approval?
• What transparency exists for revolving fund spending?
• Who decides what property gets sold—and based on what criteria?

Requires water permit holders to remit their annual report of water use to the Water Resources Board and directs the Board to require all water wells requiring a permit to take and use groundwater to utilize water well flow meters or alternative measuring systems. The Board shall promulgate rules providing for an 8-year phase-in schedule of adopting these systems. Requires all reporting to be anonymized.

The OKGOP platform states we believe in sunset laws, zero based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.

The measure will create a $5,000,000 program to assist students in becoming proficient in mathematics.I thought we were paying teachers already for proficiency in READING, WRITING AND MATH!

SB 1360 aligns with workforce development by prioritizing math proficiency as a workforce skill and using centralized, data-driven state intervention. However, it advances workforce goals through bureaucratic expansion and state control rather than local empowerment or limited-government reform.

Engrossed SB 1378 creates the Olympics in Oklahoma Revolving Fund at the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. As part of the FY-27 General Appropriations bill, $15,000,000.00 will be appropriated for the purpose of this fund.The OKGOP platform states we believe in sunset laws, zero based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.

Provides that a conviction of a second act of driving under the influence within a 1-year period shall be classified as a Class C2 offense. The measure also provides that a separate offense within this period may be aggregated and prosecuted as a single offense. A persons convicted of this crime shall be guilty of a felony

Limited Government Concern: Oklahoma universities already train graduate instructors. SB 1726 creates a statutory mandate where no legal gap exists, shifting routine academic operations into state law and regent rulemaking without evidence of a statewide problem. The emergency clause further undermines the necessity of this bill.

DHS shall implement an EXTENSION of foster care services to support individuals transitioning into adulthood (ages 18-21). The OKGOP platform states we support zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs. Is this bill to funnel more money to cronies in "higher ed"? ALL KIDS whether in foster care or not when they reach 18 they are adults who can join the military, get married, get a job JUST LIKE THE REST OF 18 YEAR OLD OKLAHOMANS! Cut the apron strings, quit fostering victimhood and dependency on government.

Creates the Cyber Crime and Fraud Unit within the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The Unit shall investigate cyber-enabled criminal activity, financial fraud and related schemes, and criminal activity that involves digital evidence at the cost of $3 MILLION. The OKGOP platform states we support sunset laws, zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.

Oklahomans should not need government permission to do a private fireworks display on their own property when there is no burn ban in effect. “Public safety” is too often the excuse for more control, more restrictions, and more treating citizens like they’re ignorant. We already know fire is a risk — same with grills, smokers, fire pits, and burn barrels. That’s why burn bans exist. Common sense should still count for something. Government needs to quit infantilizing the people it is supposed to serve.

Everything about this bill is wrong. It penalizes entrepreneurs and costs them money. If people don't want to buy UNPASTURIZED fresh from the farm milk without GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE AND REGULATIONS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT! LEAVE THE LITTLE GUYS ALONE to make a living with people who want to do business with them as is. This is voluntary for INTRA STATE commerce. INTER STATE commerce does have to comply with federal agencies regulations. Therefore, this bill is NOT NECESSARY but punitive.

SB 2071 shifts the regulatory and financial burden onto small farm operations without clear public benefit. By expanding who is regulated under the milk law and increasing fees, it creates a system that benefits larger, commercially scaled producers and puts smaller, family-based farms at a competitive disadvantage. This structure makes it harder for local, small-scale producers to remain viable unless they “pay to play” under a heavier regulatory regime.

A bad bill. More government overreach and bureaucracy!

This is an updated version of Senator Jech and Representative Nick Archers previous retaliatory legislation targeting the only donkey dairy in the state, and is the new version of the bill Senator Murdock ran last session targeting the Oklahoma Donkey Dairy for using constitutionally protected freedom of speech (SB 1080 which specified donkey milk.)

The law in Oklahoma currently regulates raw cow and goat milk under the (egregious) Oklahoma Milk Products Act. This bill changes the words to "hooved mammals" in order to include the only Donkey Dairy in the USA under the Oklahoma Milk Products Act.

The Oklahoma Milk Products act limits sales of raw milk, and takes away freedom of speech to advertise a legal product (raw milk.)

Additionally, this bill originally doubled the "Fees" collected on all milk products, which hurts farmers and the costs will be passed on to consumers on a basic grocery item (milk) at a time when Oklahomans are struggling to pay for groceries.

Furthermore, HR 8374 "The Interstate Milk Freedom Act" proposed in Congress will allow the interstate sale of raw milk. When it is enacted, the state of Oklahoma will be putting raw milk farms at a disadvantage in the USA by limiting their sales of raw milk per month and prohitibing them from their constitutional right to freedom of speech (advertising their legal product) under current regulations of the Oklahoma Milk Products Act.

UPDATE 4/8/2026

In light of the information below, I am asking for your “no” vote on SB 2071 when it is heard in the oversight committee and on the house floor.

SB 2071, is a bill that will change the language of our state to "hooved mammals" instead of "cow and goat" and in so doing, take away our freedom of speech to advertise our raw donkey milk, and give ODAFF the authority to promulgate additional "rules" such as limiting our sales per month. (Current ODAFF rules limit raw cow and goat milk to 200 and 100 gallons per month in sales.)

The narrative we have been provided as the reason for this bill is that Oklahoma needs the words “hooved mammals” in statute or we will lose our Grade A status. This is the same thing they told us 3 years ago when they ran this bill and it was vetoed by Governor Stitt, and killed by the house author, Representative Archer, when it was brought back to the floor.

I researched this issue further and found the 25 states who do not have "hooved mammal" language and yet have maintained their USDA grade A status (below). This information leads me to question the motive and the narrative being provided for the reasons behind SB 2071, especially now that the additional tax has been removed from the bill, which makes this bill a de facto duplicate as that of Senator Murdock’s SB 1080, an unconstitutional special interest bill that Senator Murdock admitted was because he was “pissed at” me and wanted to “hit” me “with his big government stick.”

If the Oklahoma Legislature’s intent with this bill is to protect our dairy industry, then this bill should be amended to

Below are 25 states (including Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”) who, per my research, do not have “hooved mammal” designated in state statute.

SB 2 is not truly local- or people-driven.

It’s a stop down policy wrapped in local language.

If the goal is to empower communities, approval authority should start and end locally, not be conditioned on a top-down framing.

Suggestion: Amend HB 3723 to let the state set minimum health, safety, and transparency standards, while clearly preserving final approval with local governments, including the ability to impose stricter rules or deny projects. Minimums should be a floor, not a ceiling, with no state preemption of local authority.
