steers higher education toward government workforce planning.... bribe to participate in the workforce pipeline

creates an evaluation and labeling system, but the incentive structure can influence how institutions prioritize programs.

Yes, this bill also helps prevent these chemical abortion drugs (and babies) from being flushed down drains in the city and then ending up in the wastewater treatment plant, where they are integrated into biosolids (humanure) and put on farmland over our aquifers.

The State Regents shall verify a student's status as an alien lawfully present in the United States through the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program.

HB3551 functions as an immigration-status verification measure tied specifically to tuition...before granting in-state tuition or certain state-funded higher education benefits...narrows eligibility for taxpayer-subsidized tuition and aligns residency verification with federal immigration status databases.

This would reduce waste and save taxpayer money. This bill focuses on preventing improper payments related to deceased individuals by mandating death record checks.

It amends existing statutes to strengthen Medicaid eligibility verification processes.

This legislation would screen for fraud in the Medicaid system.

Prior approving coverage under the state Medicaid program, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall verify eligibility information of each applicant, including deathrecord verification conducted immediately prior to approval, If the death of an applicant is confirmed prior to approval, the Authority shall deny the application and ensure that no Medicaid coverage or payments are authorized on behalf of the deceased individual.

Great, gives local control to county commissioners to protect their district from danger...novel concept. ;)

Good bill with the amendment to allow advertising for all

Allows ALL Milk, even allows transport of raw milk.

I support SB 2028 because it expands consumer choice and supports small farmers by allowing limited, direct sales of ungraded raw milk and related products. To strengthen the bill without changing its intent, a few clarifications are needed so producers clearly understand what is allowed, consumers receive consistent notice, and enforcement remains fair and predictable rather than discretionary.

1: Clear Consumer Notice Standard

Example:A producer selling ungraded raw milk posts a simple, visible notice at the point of sale and on containers stating that the product is not inspected or regulated.

Why:Without a clear, consistent notice standard, producers could face uneven enforcement based on subjective judgments about what “notification” means.

2: Defined Scope of “Incidental Sales”

Example:A small farm selling raw milk directly to families understands that “incidental sales” means small-scale, supplemental sales tied to on-farm production—not a commercial retail operation.

Why:Clarifying this prevents confusion and stops future expansion of enforcement that could treat small farmers like large commercial dairies.

3: Limits on Transport Expectations

Example:When a farmer delivers raw milk directly to a consumer, expectations are limited to basic handling consistent with small-scale, direct sales, not commercial-grade transport requirements.

Why:Without clear limits, agencies could later impose costly standards that were never intended for direct, farm-to-consumer sales.

Who These Amendments ProtectThese amendments protect small farmers from arbitrary enforcement, consumers from inconsistent information, and regulators from pressure to stretch the law beyond its intent. Clear boundaries preserve the bill’s purpose while preventing regulatory creep, confusion, and unequal treatment.

This authorizes the sale of certain raw milk products which consumers should be able to evaluate for themselves, not government.

UPDATE: They struck title, now amended to allow all milk to be advertised. I think they're playing us and will kill this bill....watch it!

NOTE: SB 2125 is BETTER than this bill, but this bill is good.

-Great: Requires raw milk producer to notify customer ungraded raw milk

-Great: Allows farmer to transport raw milk

-Great: Allows 1500 gallons of raw milk to be sold per month** (This bill increases raw milk sales from 100 gallons a month to 1500 gallons a month, however, there should be NO limits on sales of raw milk, this restricts farms from making a decent living and limits their ability to be competitive, and appears to be unconstitional favoring of certain industries over small business....see below.)

-NOT GREAT: Need to ammend to allow raw milk to be advertised

***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.

This is a Right to Try bill.

Patients should be allowed to use personalized investigational treatments that are tailored to a patient's own genetic profile after exhausting treatments approved by FDA.

This increases access to experimental or more individualized treatments and expands patient/parent choice in medical care for those with complex medical conditions.

SB933 – The Right to Try for Individualized Treatments Act would allow patients with serious or complex medical conditions to access personalized investigational treatments when standard options are not enough.

No parent should face government intervention simply for advocating for thoughtful, individualized medical care for their child.

Precision medicine is the future, especially for people with rare diseases, genetic conditions, and complex medical cases.

Oklahoma families deserve:

• the freedom to pursue individualized medical care

• the ability to work with physicians on innovative treatments

• protection from unnecessary government interference in complex medical decisions

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.

This bill will cause a decrease in the bear population and we need the bears to keep the feral hogs population down.

Amends Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission which relates to AUTHORITY to declare open seasons on wildlife including mountain lions and bears. They just CHOOSE to make mountain lion population control per a LOTTERY (2025 bill). THiS amendment is that a season for black bears shall include a muzzle loader period and an archery

period starting no earlier than September 1 of each year.

This is a money-making bill at the expense of wildlife.

SB 2152 modifies wildlife season dates, which may improve management but raises concerns about legislative involvement in decisions typically handled by wildlife experts and reduced flexibility for future adjustments.

Questions

• Why are season dates being set in statute instead of by wildlife experts?
• What data supports these changes?
• How will adjustments be made if conditions change?
• Why is an emergency clause necessary?
• Does this override or limit the authority of the Wildlife Department?

VOTE NO!

1. Extending the season to Sept. 15 through Jan 15. could be catastrophic to a truly unknown bear population in SE Oklahoma. The reason proponents of this measure is so that it would be easier to kill bears over bait because when the mast crops(acorns, muscadines, drop) later in September a lot of bears will abandon their bait sites for the fresh produce that mother nature provides. Extending the season into January will mean certain death for cubs who are orphaned because their mother was killed prior to them going into their den for the winter.

2.Bears are not like deer and turkeys in regard to getting reliant data on the population due to their elusive nature.

3. Bears are one of the few natural predators of the feral hogs & if we eliminate or curtail the population that equals more hogs to an already out of control population!

This information was shared with me by an avid sportsman and hunter in SE Oklahoma who is against this measure. I agree. This is a horrible bill, proponents of this extended season are just looking for more big game hunts to pad their pockets at the expense of Oklahoma's bear population.
