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
No public reasoning provided.
Dislikes
SB 1679 establishes a broad policy framework under the “Preserving Oklahoma Values Act,” which may impact multiple agencies and sectors. The bill’s effect depends heavily on definitions, enforcement mechanisms, and scope of authority. SB 1679 sets a broad values-based framework—the real issue is how it’s defined and enforced. This is a high-impact, high-scope bill. It’s not about one issue— It sets direction across multiple areas of government The key concern: Broad language + enforcement power = wide discretion Questions to Pressure Legislators How are “Oklahoma values” defined in this bill? Who determines whether an agency is compliant? What enforcement mechanisms are included? Does this apply to: Schools? Contractors? Private partnerships? What safeguards prevent selective or political enforcement? Why is an emergency clause necessary?
