Revolving funds with no limitations or audits are against the OKGOP platform. We believe in sunset laws, zero based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.
SB1391 requires private schools receiving the Parental Choice Tax Credit to administer the statewide student assessment in order to remain eligible.
This single provision fundamentally changes the nature of school choice.
SB1391 turns school choice into a data trade β families must surrender student assessment data to access a tax credit, expanding government reach into private education.

Oklahoma schools already receive substantial funding. Before expanding foundation spending authority, the Legislature should address mismanagement, administrative bloat, and unnecessary expenditures. More money without accountability does not fix broken priorities β it entrenches them.

This appears to be nothing more than authorization for mass surveillance of Oklahoma citizens. This isn't protecting citizens--it is Big Brother monitoring them.
This is a slippery slope into a surveillance state. Also, thereβs the potential to get false positives by misreading the plates. We do not want more cameras
Protecting road workers is important, but SB 1434 does so by sacrificing privacy and expanding surveillance. Safety can be addressed through other means, that are already available.
Think flock cameras here; this is the surveillance state in play - very bad bill!
In my opinion this is a bad bill. Law enforcement should monitor these sites and issue citations for violators.
