Our career tech programs are operating at full capacity. Expanding apprenticeship pathways ensures that students still have access to meaningful workforce training and career opportunities, even when traditional programs are unable to accommodate additional demand.

Amendment related to the library media program; eliminating reference to community standards; prohibiting the library media program from obtaining obscene materials for school libraries.

This should be a no-brainer.

If public officials are working for the people, they should never be silenced by nondisclosure agreements about their official duties.

HB 3030 simply says:

• You don’t get to serve the public and keep secrets from them.
• No elected or appointed official should be required or allowed to sign an NDA that limits transparency about government business.
• If it involves public office, public decisions, or public resources, the public has a right to know.

This bill:

• ✔️ Strengthens transparency
• ✔️ Reinforces accountability
• ✔️ Protects whistleblowers and honest officials
• ✔️ Prevents backroom deals disguised as “confidentiality”

It does not interfere with:

• Legitimate litigation strategy
• Truly personal or private matters unrelated to public office
• Existing public records laws or ethical safeguards

Bottom line

If lawmakers believe in:

• Open government
• Accountability
• Serving constituents over special interests

HB 3030 should pass unanimously.

Any opposition to this bill raises a simple question:

What are they trying to hide?

Bill needs to pass!

HB 3036 would reduce certain statutory restrictions on where handguns may be carried in Oklahoma by deleting those restrictions from state law.

• Supporters see this as reinforcing constitutional rights and simplifying gun laws.

Law-abiding gun owners are not the problem.

Removes restrictions for carrying handguns on certain property. This bill is an OK2A bill. OKGOP platform is clear on protecting our 2nd amendment rights.

This is long overdue. A good bill.

EDIT: I asked Rep Hardin to remove Donkey Milk from his bill because I heard that Representatives and Senator Murdock were not going to vote for or hear this bill because they "don't like the donkey milk lady." I told Hardin to strike donkey milk from the bill and get it through for our cow and goat milk farmers. This was at my request.

Great: Removes word "incidental" restricting raw milk sales

Great: Allows raw milk to be sold from the farm (existing), and adds to feed stores, farmers markets, delivery by farmer, and to restaurants,

Great: Allows advertising of raw cow milk, goat milk, sheep milk, donkey milk, and horse milk; (Need to add Camel Milk, it's showing benefits for children with Autism and CMA allergies.)

NEED TO AMEND to Add "There shall be no limits on the allowed sales of raw milk per month" (current "rules" restrict cow and goat milk sales per month.)

***HR 8374 "The Interstate Milk Freedom Act" in Congress will allow the interstate sale of raw milk. When it is enacted, the state of Oklahoma will be putting our raw milk farms at a disadvantage in the USA by limiting their sales of raw milk per month.

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:

• constitutional concerns,
• separation of church and state,
• and warnings about government overreach.

Now, with HB 3240:

• The policy is substantially similar in effect
• The mandate comes from the Legislature itself
• And there is little to no opposition, including from many of the same lawmakers who previously objected

What changed?

Not the policy—the messenger.

This legislation would provide allot time daily for a voluntary opportunity to pray and read scripture.

Unfortunately, since the better bills by Senator Jett and House Rep Shaw were killed.... this is the best option at this point to begin protecting homeowners with disclosures and testing on land.

1. It forbids them from using biosolids on food crops, so no more poopy PFAS carrots and corn and wheat… (Unfortunately they can still use it on hay, which is then taken up into the cows that end up as your steak.)

2. It makes them test for PFAS before land applying humanure. (Unfortunately it doesn’t make that info public, but, at least they’re testing now. 🙄)

3. It requires them to give warning of risks to the farmers taking free humanure. Kind of like a warning label on glyphosate and cigarettes. 👀

4. It limits land application in the same field to once every OTHER year.

5. It requires that the DEQ also approve methods like the microbes that eat humanure (saving cities millions and no need to land apply) and super critical water solutions (water hotter than molten lava that destroys PFAS and bacteria etc in humanure.) These two methods are things we specifically asked for, and I appreciate Representative John George including them in the bill for us.

This bill on humanure (biosolids) HB 3411 is being heard this morning. Below are the reasons we need to support HB 3411.

1. It forbids them from using biosolids on food crops, so no more poopy PFAS carrots and corn and wheat… (Unfortunately they can still use it on hay, which is then taken up into the cows that end up as your steak.)

2. It makes them test for PFAS before land applying humanure. (Unfortunately it doesn’t make that info public, but, at least they’re testing now. )

3. It requires them to give warning of risks to the farmers taking free humanure. Kind of like a warning label on glyphosate and cigarettes.

4. It limits land application in the same field to once every OTHER year.

5. It requires that the DEQ also approve methods like the microbes that eat humanure (saving cities millions and no need to land apply) and super critical water solutions (water hotter than molten lava that destroys PFAS and bacteria etc in humanure.) These two methods are things we specifically asked for, and I appreciate Representative John George including them in the bill for us.

Now, is this bill GREAT?? Nope.

Not even close, but since they kìlled Senator Shane Jett and Representative Jim Shaw’s GREAT bills to ban humanure on farmland, this bill is the best we’ve got left this session.

So, I’m asking for a yes vote today.

(Because, some of us don’t retaliate against good legislation just because the senate author, Grant Green, voted in favor of a bill to destroy her donkey dairy less than 12 hours before…..)

That would be wrong and vindictive, and would make me no better than them.

It’s about what’s best for the people of Oklahoma.

Please ask your OK State House Representative to vote YES on this bill today.

Sincerely,

The Donkey Milk Lady

Creates a new crime of acting as a straw person or party knowingly and willfully purchasing, attempting, and endeavoring and/or conspiring to obtain and purchase any property within this state on behalf of a foreign national.

A 7 page bill: All personally identifiable educational data relating to a minor child is the property of the parent until the student reaches 18. State agencies and contractors shall act only as custodians--not owners.No state education agency or local school district shall sell, trade, or license any student data for commercial purposes. Parents have the right to 1) complete records of all data elements collected or maintained on his or her child by any state education agency or local school district. 2)Opt out of any nonessential collection or data linkage beyond what is required by state or federal 3. Opt out of inclusion in any research study, predictive analytics model, artificial intelligence training dataset, or cross agency workforce linkage. 4) Receive annual written notice from the school district and SDE listing data elements collected and all authorized data-sharing agreements. No personally identifiable educational data shall be collected unless expressly authorized by state or federal law. New data elements proposed for collection by the SDE shall receive legislative approval following public notice and hearing. Personally identifiable student data shall not be transferred to any federal or state agencies, including but not limited to, workforce, health, or human services agencies, or to any private contractor or nonprofit organization without the written consent of the parent. Any data-sharing arrangement between multiple agencies shall be disclosed publicly on website The SDE shall develop a standardized Parent Data Opt-Out Form which shall exclude the applicable student's records from longitudinal and cross-agency linkage. Penalties for vendor violations.

This is a good measure to prevent data being collected, transmitted, sold, etc without parental consent. This opt out is very important. This piece further protects individual liberties, beyond parental rights. This should clarify as to it's authority to also apply to actions/contracts engaged in by the OSDE.

this bill establishes a clear and enforceable timeline for special education eligibility decisions. Families should not face indefinite delays when seeking evaluations for their children. By creating accountability and ensuring access to the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarship when deadlines are missed, the bill protects students and guarantees that parents have a pathway to services when districts fail to act in a timely manner.

HB 3723 would shift approval power for certain large green energy projects to local elected officials — and potentially local voters — before those projects can be built.

HB 3727 would bar local governments from spending public dollars on lobbyists, especially former legislators.

The goal is to keep taxpayer funds focused on core services and limit the influence of paid lobbyists using public funds.

An Act relating to lobbying regulation; prohibiting political subdivisions from spending public funds on hiring a lobbyist or paying a nonprofit state association or organization that hires lobbyists.

Yes, please add former members cannot be appointed to positions in Government for 6 years.

"Beginning on January 1, 2027, no former member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives or the Oklahoma State Senate may work or register as a lobbyist until six (6) years after their last term has expired. Former members of the Legislature who have become registered lobbyists prior to January 1, 2027, shall not be eligible for renewal of their registration until six (6) years after their last term has expired."

Texas and Arkansas have passed this.

Expands medical freedom

Ivermectin; pharmacists to dispense ivermectin without a prescription or OTC. This has passed out of committee.

I support SB 1200 and its goal of preventing financial conflicts of interest on school and technology center boards. The bill takes an important step toward protecting public trust in education governance. To strengthen the bill without changing its intent, I respectfully suggest a few clarifications to better define what qualifies as a disqualifying interest, limit unintended exclusions of community members, and ensure the rule is applied fairly and consistently.

1) Clarify What “Interest” Means

Example: A retired contractor who owns a small, inactive stake in a construction company that has not worked with a school district in years would not automatically be disqualified.

Why: Without clarification, the term “interest” could be read too broadly and exclude people with no real influence or involvement in school contracts.

2) Limit the Scope to Active or Direct Involvement

Example: A person who works for a large company that occasionally issues bonds statewide but has no role in school-related projects or decisions, would not be barred from serving.

Why: This prevents the rule from unintentionally excluding individuals who have no practical ability to influence school board decisions.

3) Provide a Clear Look-Back or Time Boundary

Example: Someone who sold their business years ago or ended involvement before filing for office would be eligible to run.

Why: Without a time boundary, past or long-ended activities could permanently disqualify otherwise qualified candidates.

Who these amendments protect: These amendments protect local voters, school districts, and community members who want ethical governance without unnecessary exclusions. They help ensure the bill targets real conflicts of interest, prevents confusion or uneven enforcement, and keeps school boards open to qualified citizens while maintaining public trust.

SB 1271 strengthens reading proficiency requirements for early elementary students and expands reporting on literacy interventions

SB 1452’s rebuttable presumption of joint custody structurally supports dual parental involvement and aligns with parental-rights priorities, constitutional norms of freedom plus judicial discretion, and conservative values of family integrity and clear legal standards — so long as courts exercise discretion responsibly in the best interests of the child

Points to Monitor in Policy and Practice

1. Judicial interpretation: How judges apply the presumption in varied family situations (e.g., domestic violence, abandonment, substance abuse).
2. Best interest standard: Ensuring that courts continue to center child safety and welfare above procedural presumptions.
3. Education & guidance for courts: Training for judges and attorneys on applying the presumption fairly and effectively.

We must stop the expansion of Socialism in our school systems through the implementation of school based health care clinics (SBHCs). Many programs exist for this encroachment - "Whole Child Whole School" (WSCC), "Community Schools", "Multi-Tiered Support for Mental Health", "Mental Health for On-Site Counseling Teams" (MTSS), "Health Integration Program", "Health Partnerships", and "Mobile School Clinic" to name a few.

Health care is not a function of education!

Moral values and common sense.

Employees are prohibited from drinking on the job or being inebriated in the private sector, so why are supposed "servants of the people" allowed to do so? A moral and common-sense refrainment!

Sad that this is necessary, but apparently it is. Thank you for this bill!

Data centers in Oklahoma may not be directly or indirectly rented, leased, or controlled by a foreign owner. Declares that any current rental or lease agreements would be deemed invalid from the date of adoption. The bill also declared that any current rental or lease agreements would be deemed invalid from the date of adoption.

As long as they can't use the same form to get around, maybe no form and specific requirements.

While this bill is being sold as a broad parental-rights expansion, in reality it’s narrowly tailored toward IEP disputes and special-education enforcement.SB 1720 would expand parents’ legal rights in public schools by adding protections under the Parents’ Bill of Rights, establishing a formal complaint process, and creating a right to sue when those rights are violated — a major shift in empowering parents within the education system.

SB 1720 is much more about special education / IEP enforcement than broad, general parental rights. SB 1720 is less about general parental rights and more about IEP enforcement and special-education dispute resolution, despite its broader branding

Thank you for understanding the urgency of the need for this common sense legislation.

YES!! "C. Any No public body or its members, officers, or staff, nor any law enforcement officer or security personnel, present at a public meeting shall prohibit any person attending a public meeting from recording the proceedings of the meeting by videotape video recording, audio recording, or by any other method; provided, however, such recording shall not interfere with the conduct of the meeting.

Protects basic fundamental human rights

I support SB 1768 because teaching students practical financial skills is valuable and timely. The bill would be stronger with a few clarifications to ensure classrooms remain focused on financial education, districts keep flexibility, and instruction does not drift into advocacy or confusion. These changes improve clarity and consistency without changing the bill’s overall intent to strengthen financial literacy.

1) Clarify Instruction vs. Advocacy

Example: Instruction on how inflation works would explain multiple perspectives and basic mechanics, rather than requiring or favoring a specific viewpoint or book.

Why: This prevents classroom instruction from being perceived as promoting a single political or ideological position instead of teaching students how to think critically.

2) Preserve Local Curriculum Flexibility

Example: A district could choose different age-appropriate materials or examples to teach inflation and monetary policy, as long as students learn the core concepts.

Why: This avoids a one-size-fits-all approach and respects that districts and teachers know what works best for their students.

3) Align the Emergency Clause with the Effective Date

Example: The bill would take effect on the stated future date without using emergency language, unless a clear and immediate need is demonstrated.

Why: This prevents confusion about timing and avoids setting unnecessary precedent for using emergency declarations when the bill already has a scheduled start date.

Who these amendments protect: These amendments protect students by keeping instruction educational rather than ideological, protect teachers by giving them clear boundaries and flexibility, and protect school districts by preventing confusion, controversy, or future expansion beyond the bill’s original purpose.

This is a "no brainer" as false statements should have appropriate consequents, as well as any information withheld by a government agency which may be construed as pertinent and in favor of the victim and/or his/her guardians.

The sale of firearms and firearm ammunition shall be exempt from the tax imposed by Section 1354 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes if the sale takes place on July 3, 2026.

When an infant or child dies unexpectently or suddenly in this state an autopy is to be performed within 48 hours. Specify labs and toxicity studies are to be conducted including immunizations within the last 90 days.

YES!!! Citizens should be allowed to record public meetings of the legislature!

This provides accountability to charter school sponsors who currently have very minimal responsibilities post school approval. This brings Oklahoma up to the standards set in other states regarding charter school governance. As charter schools continue to expand across our state, accountability and transparency measures like the ones in this bill, which seek to inform and involve the stakeholders-the parents, are vital for the protection of parental rights and representation that should be provided when public dollars are granted. This corrects the 'taxation without representation' we currently have in some charter schools, by providing some form of voice for parents. This bill puts the responsibility of follow up on the sponsor of the charter school to make sure they are not operating independently from the tax payers they serve. As charter school families do not get to elect their board members, stakeholders have next to no representation for their tax dollars. This bill provides a starting place to correct that.

I support SB 1971 because it strengthens accountability and transparency in the charter school system by improving oversight, performance reviews, and sponsor responsibility. The bill would be stronger with a few clarifications to ensure clear limits on sponsor penalties and fair, predictable application of new requirements. These changes improve clarity and consistency without changing the bill’s overall intent.

1) Clear Standards Before Sponsor Suspension

Example: If a sponsor has several schools close due to factors outside its control—such as enrollment shifts or serving high-risk student populations—the sponsor would receive clear notice of specific deficiencies and an opportunity to correct them before losing authority to approve new schools.

Why: This prevents automatic or arbitrary punishment of sponsors without clear, fixable benchmarks.

2) Reasonable Timing for New Compliance Requirements

Example: New survey, reporting, and review requirements would apply after a defined adjustment period so existing schools and sponsors have time to implement systems without disrupting school operations.

Why: This avoids rushed compliance that could create paperwork errors or unintended technical violations.

3) Limits on Emergency Use

Example: The bill would take effect on a normal timeline unless a true, immediate safety risk to students is identified, rather than applying emergency status to long-term policy changes.

Why: This prevents emergency powers from being used for administrative convenience rather than urgent necessity.

Who these amendments protect: These amendments protect students and families by ensuring stable school oversight, protect charter schools by preventing sudden or unclear penalties, and protect sponsors and taxpayers by preventing overreach, confusion, and unintended expansion of enforcement authority.

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

-Great: allows all raw milk to be advertised

-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.)

-AMEND: Need to allow farmer to transport raw milk

***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.

I support SB 2125 because it expands freedom for small farmers and consumers by allowing the direct sale and advertising of ungraded raw milk and raw milk products. To keep that intent intact while avoiding confusion or misuse, a few clarifications are needed around third-party sales, labeling consistency, the emergency clause, and the definition of “incidental sales”. These changes strengthen the bill without changing its purpose.

1) Clear Limits on Third-Party Sales

Example: If raw milk is sold at a farmers market or through a third party, the consumer should be able to clearly identify the original farm that produced it, and the producer should remain responsible for how it is handled and represented.

Why: Without clear limits, third-party sales could blur responsibility and create enforcement confusion if something goes wrong.

2) Consistent, Plain-Language Labeling

Example: Every container sold should clearly state that the product is raw or unpasteurized, list the date it was filled, and plainly disclose that it is not inspected or regulated.

Why: Clear and consistent labels ensure consumers understand what they are buying and reduce the risk of disputes or claims of deception.

3) Narrow the Emergency Clause

Example: The bill could take effect on a standard timeline rather than immediately, unless a clear and specific public safety need is identified.

Why: Using emergency clauses when there is no immediate threat can set an unnecessary precedent and weaken public trust.

4) Clear Definition of “Incidental Sales”

Example: Incidental sales should be clearly understood as small-scale sales connected to what a farm actually produces each month, not ongoing or high-volume distribution that looks like a commercial operation.

Why: Without a clear meaning, the exemption could be stretched beyond its intent and used as a loophole by large or industrial-style sellers.

Who These Amendments Protect

These amendments protect small farmers by reducing the risk of unfair enforcement, protect consumers by ensuring transparency and informed choice, and protect the state by preventing regulatory creep or confusion as the market grows. The result is a clearer, fairer system that honors the bill’s intent while guarding against abuse.

This bill is THE BEST raw milk bill this session!

-Great: Allows all raw milk to be advertised

-Great: Allows raw milk to be transported off farm

-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.)

-Great: removes ALL raw milk producers from the egregious Oklahoma Milk Products Act!!!

(To be even better, get with Rep Hardin and amend to add language allowing off farm sale to restaurants, feed stores, and farmers markets.)

***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 bill opens the door for predators in our schools to not be investigated. This information comes from Sherrie Conley.

This bill deals with amendatory language. The language change opens the door for the administration to use personal judgment to determine if a school employee should be investigated. Currently, all reported cases are to be investigated. This allows for potential coverup of an abuse incident. The current language states, "Any school personnel who is reported to be the subject of a violation of subsection B of this section shall be put on administrative leave while the schooldistrict investigates the incident and notifies the board of education. This changes to, "Any school personnel who is the subject of a corroborated report of being in violation of subsection B of this section shall be put on administrative leave while the school district investigates the incident and notifies the board of education. Key words changed from, "reported to be" to, "the subject of a corroborated report of being".

This leaves the possibility of a predator in the school until it can be corroborated which might never happen.



this is a bad bill that was introduced last session. it had so much opposition that the original author of the bill has now pulled him name from the bill only after amending the bill. that in its current language will leave potential predators in the classroom while an investigation is being conducted.

Not nearly strong enough and is too vague and leaves the decision up for interpretation. This needs to be more concrete and more protective of our students!

DHS can't manage the money or programs they have. This seems irresponsible.

HB2059 centralizes inmate medication purchasing through a single state-directed provider. While intended to streamline jail healthcare access, the policy reduces competitive procurement and removes local purchasing authority from county governments, raising potential long-term cost concerns for taxpayers.

Amends regarding standardized subject matter standards, graduation requirements, establishing set curriculum of 23 units for all 8-12 grade students.

HB 3021 looks less like education reform and more like lowering the bar to meet labor shortages, which ultimately shortchanges students and families.

Aligns with a workforce agenda by lowering and reshaping graduation requirements through waivers and alternative diplomas, prioritizing labor needs over consistent academic standards and long-term student readiness.

Another appearance of oversight, without any accountability... centralizing reports.

More systems, more dashboards, more reporting…

but no requirement to actually do anything with the information

Cost to implement approximately $55,900,000, with $27,950,000 from state funds and $27,950,000 from federal funds. Growing government at the expense of taxpayers.

Grows government on the backs of taxpayers.

A 5 YEAR pilot study which would DELAY ANY PROGRESS ON A MORATORIUM, STRICTER REGULATIONS, RESEARCH FOR REMEDIATION and wants the Oklahoma taxpayers to fund it through yet ANOTHER REVOLVING FUND not subject to fiscal year limitations! Biosolids applied under the pilot program shall be EXEMPT from state permitting otherwise required under environmental or land application rules and coordinate with the DEQ and utilize biosolids supplied by Oklahoma municipal wastewater treatment facilities. (Changed to 3 year from 5)

HORRIBLE BILL!!! They already know this is a problem, OKC documents show PFAS contamination on biosolids land application sites. Research shows toxic MCCP's airborne from biosolids in Oklahoma for the first time in the Westerrn Hemishpere. The humanure interim study proved biosolids are NOT safe. Individuals near biosolids have increased risks of cancers and autoimmune disorders. The DEQ is documented as stating "we have to protect the beneficial use of biosolids".

Why are we wasting tax payer dollars to "study" this, just kicking the can down the road, passing the buck, and making the taxpayers foot the bill, bill!!

"Oklahoma Biosolids Land Application Research Pilot Program Act Revolving Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of all monies received by the Department from appropriations, apportionments, donations, and federal grants received for the purpose of completing the Oklahoma Biosolids Land Application Research Pilot Program Act created pursuant to Section 2 of this act. All monies accruing to the credit of the fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the Department for the purpose provided for in this section.

Further, chemical abortions and their residuals are entering our wastewater treatment systems, and inevitably ending up in wastewater and biosolids. Current treatment processes do nothing to remove pharmaceuticals from biosolids. Please see letter from 25 Congressmen, including Brecheen and Lankford: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26186656-congressional-letter-to-epa-re-mifepristone/

"We commend this administration's dedication to protecting life and safeguarding public health. In light of these commitments, we write to express our concerns regarding mifepristone and its potential contaminant effects on our nation's waters. In 2023, medication abortions accounted for more than 60% of all clinician-provided abortions that took place within the U.S. health care system-totaling roughly 648,500 medication abortions.These numbers do not reflect the unrecorded number of at-home medication abortions that were performed without the oversight of a clinician. It is imperative that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers evaluating the potential contaminant effects of this drug as the agency develops the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 6 (UCMR 6). Mifepristone is the first step in a two-step drug regimen designed to facilitate an abortion. The drug blocks progesterone, a hormone necessary to support pregnancy and development of the child in the womb.2 A second drug, misoprostol, is taken 24 to 48 hours later to induce uterine contractions and expel the child and other placental tissue"

(These are expelled into the toilet and go to the wastewater treatment plant, and into biosolids "humanure."

Not only are we feeding other peoples' children with our state and federal tax dollars when school is in session but now we are supposed to feed "FAMILIES" during the summer as well at the cost of $9 million. A revolving fund as well with appropriations. We do NOT LIVE IN A SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST STATE where the government takes earned income from working families and their children and gives it to other "FAMILIES!"

HB 3638 directs Oklahoma to participate in the federal Summer EBT program, requiring state agencies to administer federally funded grocery benefits for children when school is not in session. While the goal is to help families, this expands government involvement in feeding programs beyond the school year — a function that should primarily be handled by families and local communities rather than state policy. Oklahoma already participates in free/reduced school meals; mandating participation in another federal food benefit reinforces government dependency rather than empowering local support mechanisms.

"We're from the government and we're here to help." Stop poisoning our food, teach churces and communities to grow their own food and help feed children and families over the summer.

HB 3671 appears unnecessary and redundant, revisiting the statutory definition of a “career teacher” without solving any clear academic problem. Teachers already know whether they are career educators, and districts already have systems for experience, contracts, and evaluation.

Why this raises concern:

• Unnecessary redefinition: Changing labels does not improve instruction, literacy, or math outcomes.
• Hypocrisy in context: Lawmakers claim teacher shortages while simultaneously adding new classifications and hurdles instead of reducing barriers and supporting experienced educators.
• Workforce alignment: Reframing “career teacher” aligns with a broader workforce pipeline mindset, where educators are treated as labor units to be reclassified, tracked, and managed—rather than professionals focused on academics.
• Centralized control: Definition changes are often a precursor to future policy shifts tied to performance metrics, data reporting, or compensation models.

Bottom line:

HB 3671 does not strengthen academics or local control. It reflects a workforce-management approach to education policy and adds complexity where none is needed. This bill should not move forward without a clear, academic-focused justification.

The decline in academics is not a mystery:

• time was redirected,
• rigor was replaced with ideology,
• mastery was traded for compliance,
• and outcomes were deprioritized.

If Oklahoma wants kids who can read, write, and think — academics must come first again.

Remove the non-academic mandates and there’s plenty of time for kids to read, write, and do math—every day—without extending the school year or piling on new requirements.

HB 3706 mandates time, not quality.

Without specifying what kind of math is taught, it risks enforcing more Common Core–style math, not restoring real math fundamentals.

Math jobs are some of the first that will be replaced by AI. We're cutting art and music and creative and moral education, and pushing more math, rather than quality education.

HB 3708 expands school choice through tax-credit scholarships, but it also expands data collection requirements and uses tax incentives to pressure (“bribe”) participation rather than allowing voluntary, arms-length charitable giving. While increased choice can benefit families, the bill ties that expansion to greater reporting to the state and a funding model that leverages tax policy to steer behavior, raising concerns about privacy, transparency, and government influence over private education decisions.

Bottom line: HB 3708 advances school choice, but does so by trading privacy and independence for incentives.

Amends to each school district board of education shall adopt a policy prohibiting students from using cell phones and personal electronic devices while on the campus of a public school district from bell to bell. (This bill was sold as a 1 year pilot in 2025 and thereafter SCHOOL DISTRICTS WOULD MAKE THE DECISION TO CONTINUE OR OPT OUT OR ALTER IT. But now, the legislature wants to USURP TOTAL CONTROL OVER THIS ISSUE.

HB 3715 is hypocritical in application by banning parent-controlled cell phones while leaving school-controlled Chromebooks and iPads untouched. This creates a one-sided restriction that removes parental oversight while preserving district-managed devices that are often the primary vectors for content delivery, data collection, and ideological programming.

This asymmetry aligns with DEI-era governance models that centralize control over student access, content, and data while marginalizing parental authority.

HB3720 even after the amendment continues the pattern of incremental regulatory expansion over small and home-based food producers while framing the bill as “modernization.”

While the substitute raises the annual sales cap, it simultaneously:

• Expands mandatory, agency-approved training requirements
• Formalizes credentialing and compliance structures
• Strengthens labeling, verification, and enforcement authority
• Preserves agency discretion and fines for noncompliance

This shifts cottage and local food producers further into a centralized regulatory model and regulatory risk for small businesses that operate on thin margins.

The structure of the bill aligns with global “food system modernization” frameworks that prioritize standardized compliance, credentialing, and oversight. Over time, this model disproportionately benefits larger, capital-backed producers while gradually pushing small, family-scale operations out of the market.

Bottom line:

HB3720 embeds permanent regulatory mechanisms that expand government oversight and increase barriers to entry. This bill grows government authority and undermines true food freedom, small-business resilience, and local enterprise.

Great bill, thanks for the amended language!!! This bill increases sales limits from $75,000 to a viable business with One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00).

There is an 8 hour class available online that is required. This is a fair tradeoff for being able to actually make a living with your business, and not egregious at all. I would ammend the bill to specify that the class is FREE, just to make sure it doesn't end up being cost prohibitive. (And, I'm O.K. with that if it means I don't have hair in my food.)

HB 3885 expands statutory suspension authority to grades 3–5, but student discipline is fundamentally an operational issue best handled by local school districts. Districts can already set discipline policies. By inserting grade-specific discipline structures into state law, the Legislature moves beyond setting guardrails and into micromanaging local school operations — creating the appearance of reform without addressing root accountability issues.

HB 4115 increases allowable professional development hours for teachers without improving academic instruction, classroom autonomy, or student learning outcomes. The bill shifts teacher time away from classrooms and toward centralized training, aligning with workforce-development compliance models rather than educational excellence. At a time of teacher shortages and burnout, expanding mandatory training hours worsens the problem it claims to address.

HB 4115 treats teachers like workforce trainees instead of educators — increasing meetings while students lose instruction time.

to HB 4129 expands the authority of OMES under the banner of efficiency, but raises serious concerns about centralization of power, reduced transparency, and lack of existing oversight mechanisms such as forensic audits and vendor accountability.HB 4129 expands OMES power in the name of efficiency—without addressing the lack of oversight.

Questions

• Has OMES ever undergone a full forensic audit?
• Why expand authority before ensuring real oversight?
• How will vendor contracts be monitored under increased control?
• What transparency mechanisms are being added (not removed)?
• Does this concentrate too much power in one agency?
• Who is watching OMES?
