Patriots Awakened

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.

Abortion is murder and must be stopped; our OKGOP platform is clear on this matter.

Every conceived child is a Child of God! Matthew 5:21 states, “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ This bill needs to be passed to eliminate the murder of approximately 7,000 children each year in Oklahoma.

Anyone with a valid Oklahoma handgun license may carry a concealed handgun through the State Capitol building security checkpoint if attended by a peace officer, after presenting their license. Officers cannot inspect or remove concealed handguns or restrain licensed carriers without probable cause of a crime.

21 states allow the carrying of handguns in the capitol building including 5 surrounding states: New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas.

A very good bill!

The good faith belief that a federal procedural bar was in place when a cause of action for health care liability arose shall extend the limitation of action of said period until one year after the good faith belief no longer existed.

This bill gives people a fair chance to file a health care lawsuit. Because of the lack of access to the court system, people honestly thought the federal law was blocking them. This bill simply asks the legislature to 'make law' what the courts have already established in multiple decisions.

The application for a new trial on the ground that the grand jury was not drawn summoned or impaneled as provided by law or when fraudulent evidence is submitted or when misconduct or an abuse of discretion occurs during the proceedings by the court or the state by which the defendant was prevented from having a fair trial.

Yes, Need to amend to also ban sale of cultivated MILK.

A. For the purposes of this section, the term "cultivated meat" means a meat or meat product that was produced from cultured animal tissue produced from in vitro animal cell cultures outside of the animal from which the cells were derived. B. 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, sell, hold or offer for sale, or distribute any cultivated meat product in this state.

This legislation codifies your 2nd Amendment right to acquire handgun permits, eliminating the state conditional requirements of attending a training class for handguns.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health shall promulgate rules for the establishment of a COVID-19 Blood Bank that shall only receive and store unvaccinated blood untainted from the COVID-19 shots.

This measure allows the carrying of concealed weapons at events held on the fairgrounds and in buildings that are open to the general public during the Oklahoma State Fair or the Tulsa State Fair. The event holder may authorize the open carry of firearms at these events also. Supports our Second Amendment rights.

If a securities intermediary does not have sufficient interests in a particular financial asset to satisfy both its obligations to entitlement holders who have security entitlements to that financial asset and its obligation to a creditor of the securities intermediary who has a security interest in that financial asset, the claims of entitlement holders, other than the creditor, have priority over the claim of the creditor. (This means if a bank fails, YOU get your assets FIRST-- NOT the bank like your 401K, IRA, stocks, unpaid mortgage balance and equity, etc.).

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.

THIS BILL IS CRITICAL

Great: Protects ratepayers from paying for increased power due to high demand facilities

Great: Requires water usage assessment and limits overusage of water from high demand facilities

Great: Prohibits high demand facilities on agricultural land

Great: Prohibits foreign ownership of high demand facilities

Great: Gives local citizens initiative and referendum petition power as provided for by the Oklahoma Constitution

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."

Thank you Representative Gann!

Protects property rights

YES!!!! "NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 22 of Title 31, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows: A. Triggering Condition. The provisions of this section shall take effect only upon certification by the Secretary of State that State Question 842 has been approved by the voters. B. Unconditional Ownership Established. 1. Ownership of owner-occupied residential real property in this state shall be absolute and unconditional, subject only to: a. voluntary conveyance, Req. No. 14524 Page 3 b. eminent domain exercised in accordance with constitutional requirements, c. judicial foreclosure arising from voluntary private debt, or d. enforcement of criminal forfeiture pursuant to a final conviction. 2. No state agency, political subdivision, or taxing authority shall treat residential real property ownership as conditional upon payment of any tax, fee, assessment, or charge not expressly authorized by the Oklahoma Constitution. C. Prohibition on Indirect Forfeiture. No governmental entity shall: 1. Impose any substitute tax, assessment, service charge, lien, penalty, or fee that functions to: a. encumber title, b. condition possession, c. compel forfeiture, d. authorize sale for nonpayment, or e. circumvent the elimination of residential ad valorem taxation. 2. Recharacterize property taxes as fees, special assessments, utility surcharges, or occupancy charges for the purpose of enforcing collection through lien or sale. D. Limits on Government Remedies. Req. No. 14524 Page 4 For owner-occupied residential real property: 1. No lien shall attach for nonpayment of any governmental charge unless: a. expressly authorized by the Oklahoma Constitution, and b. unrelated to the former ad valorem taxation of residential property. 2. No forced sale, eviction, or dispossession shall occur based solely on failure to pay a governmental charge arising after the effective date of this section. E. Private Rights Preserved. Nothing in this section shall impair: 1. Voluntary contractual obligations entered into by the owner; 2. Mortgage, deed of trust, or consensual lien rights; 3. Homeowners' association covenants voluntarily accepted by the owner. SECTION 3. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 23 of Title 31, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows: A. Any owner aggrieved by a violation of this act shall have standing to seek: 1. Declaratory relief; 2. Injunctive relief; 3. Quiet title; 4. Recovery of reasonable attorney fees and costs. Req. No. 14524 Page 5 B. Sovereign or governmental immunity is waived to the extent necessary to enforce this section. SECTION 4. The provisions of this act are severable and if any part or provision shall be held void the decision of the court so holding shall not affect or impair any of the remaining parts or provisions of this act."

Under Gann’s proposal, the Legislature and all committees, conference committees, task forces and working groups would be required to:

• provide advance public notice and agendas;
• allow public observation and recording of meetings;
• post meeting records online within seven days; and
• refrain from taking votes outside Open Meeting Act compliance.

Also requires lawmakers to file a Lobbyist Impact Statement if they have received campaign contributions, gifts or other benefits from lobbyists connected to legislation they sponsor and mandates that legislators disclose any nondisclosure agreements they sign, and any agreement restricting communication with constituents or legislative deliberation would be void.

Supports openness and transparency in procedural processes

"The board shall maintain its records pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, except those records which are considered private or confidential, and shall post such records on the water district's website if applicable."

Updating qualifications for the restoration of gun rights for nonviolent felons; deleting handgun license revocation requirement. Restoring Second Amendment rights to nonviolent felons upon release. Once debt is paid, rights should be restored.

For a state ballot question: by a majority vote of both the Oklahoma State Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives, and with gubernatorial approval or a legislative veto override, to freeze, suspend, or withhold up to one hundred percent (100%) of state-appropriated funding to any taxpayer-funded university, college, or institution of higher education within the State of Oklahoma for up to two (2) years.

Prevents Sharia Law from overriding our Constitution

This should include anyone 65 or older whether or not they have a mortgage on their home. In this day and age, there are many senior citizens that may still carry indebtedness.

This legislation would classify ivermectin as an OTC medication.

NO: Higher education is already cost prohibiitve for most students. A voluntary donation fund for schools wishing to participate is fine, but no school should be penalized (a penalty that will be passed on to the students via tuition raised). STRIKE this and make it voluntary.

"2. Failure to meet the deadline established by paragraph 1 of 6 this subsection shall result in a punitive fine of one percent (1%) of the institution of higher education’s appropriated budget for each month of noncompliance. Collected fines shall be deposited 9 into the General Revenue Fund."

I support SB 1199 because it strengthens transparency and public trust by tightening conflict-of-interest rules for school and technology center boards. To make the bill clearer and fairer in practice, it needs a few narrow clarifications—specifically around how “interest” is measured, how family employment is handled when no real control or profit exists, and when immediate implementation is truly necessary. These changes would improve consistency and prevent overreach without changing the bill’s intent.

1) Clarify What Counts as a Meaningful Financial Interest

Example: A board member’s adult child works hourly at a large regional company that happens to contract with the district, but the family has no ownership, control, or influence over pricing or decisions. This situation would be clearly distinguished from a family-owned business that benefits directly from the contract.

Why: Without clearer boundaries, routine employment relationships could be treated the same as true financial conflicts, leading to confusion and unnecessary disqualifications.

2) Add a Practical Safeguard for “Only Local Provider” Situations

Example: In a rural area where only one supplier exists within a reasonable distance, the board could proceed if the relationship is fully disclosed, the interested member does not vote, and the reason for using that provider is clearly recorded.

Why: Rural districts often have limited options, and without clear safeguards this provision could either be abused or avoided altogether due to uncertainty.

3) Narrow the Emergency Effective Date

Example: Instead of applying immediately to all situations, the bill would take effect right away only for new contracts, while allowing a short transition period for existing arrangements to be reviewed and disclosed.

Why: Immediate implementation without transition can unintentionally disrupt ongoing operations that were lawful and transparent when entered into.

Who these amendments protect: These amendments protect students, taxpayers, and school districts by ensuring conflicts are addressed consistently and fairly, not arbitrarily. They protect board members from accidental violations, help rural districts continue operating effectively, and prevent the rules from expanding beyond their purpose while still preserving transparency and public trust.

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.

I support SB 1215 because it strengthens transparency when state tax dollars or incentives are used, while still recognizing that private businesses have legitimate proprietary information that should not be exposed. To fully protect both taxpayers and good-faith businesses, the bill would benefit from clearer limits on what qualifies as “proprietary,” clearer guidance on how disclosure decisions are made, and a simple safeguard to prevent nondisclosure from being used to hide the basic use of public funds. These clarifications improve fairness and trust without changing the bill’s intent.

1) Clarify the Boundary Between Public Spending and Proprietary Details

Example: A contract summary would show how much public money is being provided and for what purpose, while keeping internal business details like formulas, supplier pricing, or profit margins private.

Why: Without a clear boundary, agencies may withhold too much information, undermining transparency for taxpayers.

2) Require Consistent Disclosure Standards Across Agencies

Example: Two different state agencies offering similar incentives would follow the same basic disclosure approach instead of one releasing key details and the other withholding nearly everything.

Why: Inconsistent practices can lead to confusion, unequal treatment, and public distrust.

3) Prevent Overuse of “Proprietary” as a Catch-All

Example: An agency could not label an entire agreement as proprietary simply because it involves a private business; only specific business-sensitive portions would qualify.

Why: This prevents the exception from swallowing the rule and protects against secrecy creep.

Who these amendments protect: These amendments protect taxpayers by ensuring they can see how public funds are used, protect businesses by preserving legitimate trade secrets, and protect state agencies by giving clear, consistent guidance that reduces disputes and accusations of favoritism or secrecy.

YES! "A. Except as provided by subsection B of this section, no state governmental entity or public trust having the state as its beneficiary may enter into any agreement with a person, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust, or other legal entity that would prohibit the state governmental entity or public trust from making disclosure of the terms of any agreement with such entity to make payment to or confer value upon the entity using an incentive, tax credit, direct or indirect payment, grant, or similar benefit Req. No. 2397 offered to the entity if the benefit is provided through the use of state taxes."

I support Senate Bill 1222 and its goal of ensuring that commercial drivers operating in Oklahoma are properly licensed and accountable by no longer allowing non-domiciled commercial driver licenses, meaning licenses held by drivers who are not residents of this state. During COVID, when licensing offices in some states were shut down, drivers were temporarily allowed to obtain or renew CDLs in other states. That situation no longer exists. CDL licenses are only valid for two years, and six years have now passed since those shutdowns. There is no longer a legitimate need for non-domiciled CDLs, and anyone operating a commercial vehicle on Oklahoma roads should be required to hold a regular, properly issued CDL. Eliminating non-domiciled CDLs closes a loophole that has been exploited to bypass residency and documentation requirements, strengthening safety, accountability, and enforcement on our roadways.

Stops illegals with commercial drivers licenses from other states from driving in Oklahoma.

I support SB 1223 in its effort to clean up and clarify language enacted in Senate Bill 1392 from the 2024 session, which established English-language proficiency requirements for commercial drivers. This bill does not change the intent or scope of the original law, but instead refines unclear language related to how proficiency is demonstrated, how enforcement is applied, and how drivers and carriers are notified and brought back into compliance. By addressing these technical issues early, SB 1223 helps ensure consistent, fair enforcement, improves clarity for both law enforcement and the trucking industry, and strengthens the effectiveness of the underlying safety policy without expanding authority or creating new penalties.

I support SB 1230 and its goal of ensuring that driver licenses and identification cards are issued only to individuals who are lawfully present in the United States. The bill strengthens the integrity of state-issued identification, improves public confidence in those credentials, helps reinforce trust in other civic systems that rely on accurate and reliable identification, and establishes clear consequences for those who knowingly falsify records.

Very important legislation to stop illegals from obtaining drivers licenses, driving on our highways and potentially voting. The OKGOP platform is clear on this matter.

This legislation would exempt certain firearms from sales taxes during the period of July.

This legislation protects our school age material from obscene material. The provisions of this act are necessary to protect the health, safety, and morals of students in this state.

This legislation restricts the library collection in our public schools:

a. prohibits the possession, acquisition, display, or purchase of print and nonprint materials and multimedia resources that:

(1) contain or depict obscene material, sexual

conduct, sexually explicit content, nudity, or

material that is harmful to minors, and

(2) refers a person, by printed or digital means, to

a website containing or depicting obscene

material, sexual conduct, nudity, or material

that is harmful to minors.

This is much needed legislation to protect children in public schools.

This legislation allows the concealed carry of firearms in the state capital with a concealed carry permit or a security guard license. This codifies your 2nd Amendment rights. 21 states allow the carry of handguns in the capitol building; this includes 5 surrounding states: New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas (See HB 3084 also)

A 24 page bill of amendments and new laws regarding Oklahoma Wind Energy Development Act. The primary objections/unacceptable parts are on page 20 regarding 1/4 and 1/2 mile setbacks (should be at least 1 mile) and no county option for residents to opt out. Same bill as SB2123.

Appears to be a duplicate bills of SB 2123 by Frix and SB 1514 by McIntosh and SB 2183 by Seifried...

YES IF increase setbacks, this is not sufficient: "1. The minimum setback for the base of any wind turbine from a nonparticipating landowner’s property line shall be equal to the greater of one quarter (1/4) of a nautical mile or two (2) times the total height of the wind turbine as measured from the ground at its base to the maximum height of the blade tip. A nonparticipating landowner may elect to sign a waiver that allows a wind turbine or group of wind turbines to be placed up to one and one-tenth (1.1) times the total height of the wind turbine as measured from the ground at its base to the maximum height of the blade tip from the nonparticipating landowner’s property line; 2. The minimum setback from the base of a wind turbine shall be one half (1/2) of a nautical mile from any residential structure that exists at the time the permit application is submitted to the Corporation Commission; 

While the bill may save some taxpayer money by restricting subsidies,its expansion of government regulatory power over civil society makes it difficult to support. True limited-government reform would prioritize shrinking the state’s footprint, not expanding its reach into private nonprofit activities.

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!

A court shall not abridge a person’s right to purchase, possess, concealed carry, or open carry a firearm in this state. No court shall require a firearm seized due to a misdemeanor arrest or conviction to be forfeited or destroyed.

This legislation allows for the carry of a firearm into a courthouse when it is not in session.

Smart legislation reaffirming our federal and Oklahoma constitutions that foreign laws or systems will not be able to override the laws of our land. A no brainer!

The measure requires any court ruling on a decision to not base its ruling on any foreign law, legal code, or system

This legislation places the burden on government to supply storage.

Any structure, building, or office space which is owned or leased by a city, town, county, state, or federal governmental uthority for the purpose of conducting business with the public.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a structure, building, or office space which is owned or leased by a city, town, county, state, or federal governmental authority for the purpose of conducting business with the public where there is a peace officer certified by the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training and a metal detector present at a security checkpoint. Handgun storage shall be provided outside of such buildings and signage must be posted prohibiting the carry of firearms in such buildings.

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 eliminates the 5-year handgun license and creates a 20-year handgun license. The measure provides that the 10-year license shall have the same application requirements as the former 5-year handgun license and the new 20-year handgun license shall have the same requirements as the 10-year license

Why the bill needs work is that the fee shall be double the amount of the fee provided for in paragraph 4. The fee is already double what it should be should at $85.00. There is no justification for the increase in fee for the same amount of work by the state.

This legislation protects your property and privacy. This prevents OSBI from taking fingerprints from a firearm unless it is suspected of being used in a crime.

This legislation provides that a lawful citizen who is peacefully and lawfully in possession of a firearm within 1,000 ft of an educational facility is considered to be lawfully carrying. The conflict with federal law needs to be resolved.

See Federal law18 U.S.C.§921(a)(26). The law applies to public, private, andparochialelementary schools and high schools, and to non-private property within 1,000 feet (300m) of them.It provides that the states and their political subdivisions may issue licenses that exempt the licensed individuals from the prohibition.

This is a cleanup bill to clarify off-duty law enforcement personnel can carry off duty with in the state. Also corrects grammatical language.

Any United States Attorney or Assistant United

States Attorney may carry a firearm on his or her person throughout this state if the person has successfully completed a handgun qualification course for court officials developed by the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training.

Clean up language on current law.

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

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.
