Why are we adding a $200 fee for doing PEMF on animals? Also, requiring the vet to have the animal as an established patient within the last 12 months is ridiculous. We have a large herd. Not every animal has been seen in the last 12 months, so, with this bill, would my vet not be able to help us in an emergency telemedicine case because he hadn't seen that particular animal in the last year??? Then she dies because he couldn't make it there in time?
Who requested this bill? I'm guessing it wasn't a practicing in the field rural veterinarian.

Persons under 18 must demonstrate reading ability at an eighth-grade level by passing the statewide reading assessment or an approved alternative test to qualify for a driver license or permit.Authorizes Service Oklahoma to cancel the driving privileges of persons age 14 through 17 who withdraw from school. Service Oklahoma estimates a one-time absorbable cost associated with these system changes to be approximately $75,000.
This legislation is more nanny-state interference on our liberties. It establishes new requirements, penalties and OSDE involvement in regulating the DMV driver licenses.

Another βhelp the kidsβ bill that expands system control.
This one is being sold as early dyslexia screeningβand on the surface, that sounds harmless.
But look closer.
This bill:
- Expands mandatory screenings
- Increases state involvement
- Pushes more evaluation and intervention pathways
And hereβs the red flag most people will miss:
** It creates a new section of law outside the normal statutes
Why?
Because that gives more flexibility to expand it later without as much scrutiny.
Letβs be real.
Every time government says:
βwe just want to screenβ
β¦it turns into:
- more data collection
- more labeling
- more control over decision-making
Parents should be asking:
**When does support turn into oversight?
**Who controls what happens after a child is flagged?
**And why are we creating laws that arenβt even fully anchored in statute?
Helping kids read is common sense.
But expanding systems without clear limits?
Thatβs how you grow governmentβquietly.

π Details π View Bill on Legislature Website
The boards of education of school districts and charter schools shall adopt a policy requiring every public school to provide students and employees with an opportunity to participate in a period of prayer and reading of the Bible OR OTHER RELIGIOUS TEXT on each school day.
WE support HB 3240 on policy grounds. However, the reaction to this bill exposes a striking double standard at the Capitol.
The Hypocrisy can't be ignored.
When the previous State Superintendent advanced similar ideas around religion in schools, legislators from both parties reacted with outrage, citing:
Now, with HB 3240:
What changed?
Not the policyβthe messenger.
This legislation would provide allot time daily for a voluntary opportunity to pray and read scripture.
