Amends to add: No attempted adjustment adopted by the Statewide Official Compensation Commission shall operate to increase the emoluments of any office for which a current member of the Legislature is elected or appointed. Any such office shall retain the emoluments in effect prior to the attempted adjustment adopted by the Commission.
SB1518 appears to be a statutory workaround designed to protect political insiders, allowing a sitting legislator to vote for or benefit from a salary increase for a statewide office and then run for that same office during the same term.
While framed as a βclarification,β the bill undermines the spirit and enforcement of the Oklahoma Constitutionβs anti-corruption guardrails.
Oklahoma Constitution β Article V, Β§23
The Constitution is clear: No member of the Legislature shall, during the term for which he was elected, be appointed or elected to any office⦠the emoluments of which shall have been increased during his term of office.
This provision exists to prevent:
- Self-dealing
- Conflicts of interest
- Legislators enriching themselves through future offices
SB1518 attempts to statutorily neutralize the effect of a pay raise so that it βdoes not countβ for eligibility purposes β even when:
- The raise was approved during the legislatorβs term
- The legislator voted while actively campaigning for that office
A statute cannot override the Constitution.

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.

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