New Law creating the Oklahoma Medicaid Audit Bill of Rights Act. Procedures of audits.

Allows persons to submit to approved risk, mental health and substance abuse screenings upon arrest for MISDEMEANORS at ALL jails (done for felonies already).The OKGOP platform states we support sunset laws, zero-based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.

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, there’s 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.

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.

This bill is simply Senator Gollihare's attack against citizens, concerned about his ongoing support of abortion per his voting record, who attempted to talk with his pastor. How dare he use his position as a senator to retaliate against the free speech of concerned citizens. This bill isn't what it appears to be at all. Shame on you Gollihare. This should not even make it to the Floor. .

This could be used to protect any religion, including Islamism. We already have religious freedom protections. We should not muddy the waters with additional legislation, we need to have our courts and law enforcement uphold the already established rule of law.

Absolutely unconstitutionall bill, obstructing freedom of speech. So, with this bill I can't give a leaflet or have a conversation about Christianity to a muslim outside a mosque???

This bill either demonstrates a complete lack of respect for freedom of speech, or shows us who doesn't understand, value, or uphold the constitution.
