OKLAHOMA CITY (May 18th) – A bill requiring all youth camps and outdoor programs to conduct a site-specific hazard assessment and develop an emergency action plan by the end of the year has become law.

Rep. Josh Cantrell, R-Kingston, is the author of House Bill 1675.

"Camp should be a fun time for our kids," Cantrell said. "But in Oklahoma, we have a lot of severe weather. Making sure our camps are as prepared as they can be will help keep young campers safe and give parents and everyone else involved much more peace of mind."

OKLAHOMA CITY (May 15, 2026) - Governor Kevin Stitt today said the final day of the legislative session sent a clear message that Oklahomans are ready for reform, accountability, and consolidation across the state’s more than 400 boards and commissions.

On Sine Die, the Legislature failed to override the Governor’s veto of House Bill 3320, which would have permanently extended 39 boards and commissions by removing their statutory sunset dates.

“Sunset dates exist for a reason,” said Governor Stitt. “They force government to justify its existence, prove its value to taxpayers, and remain accountable to the people. We should not permanently extend boards and commissions without first seeking reform and consolidation. The answer cannot always be more government.”

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (May 18th) - Americans for Prosperity-Oklahoma (AFP-OK) celebrated the end of a successful 2026 legislative session today, highlighting its victories and sharing its goals for next year. The chapter’s wins beneath the dome this year reflect its ongoing commitment to making the Sooner State the most prosperous state in the nation by advocating for the policies to make it happen, whether it’s expanding school options or strengthening free speech protections and agency transparency.  

AFP-OK's biggest legislative wins for 2026 include: 

OKLAHOMA CITY— Senator Brenda Stanley, R-Midwest City, applauded Senate Bill 1644 becoming law, legislation she authored to designate Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) as a reportable disease in Oklahoma.

Alpha-gal syndrome is a potentially life-threatening allergic condition, most often caused by lone star tick bites, that is increasingly affecting Oklahomans. The disease causes varying symptoms ranging from mild to severe, most commonly causing allergic reactions to meat and other animal products such as dairy and certain medications.

SB 1644 directs the Commissioner of Health to add Alpha-Gal Syndrome to the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s published list of reportable diseases and conditions, helping improve awareness and data collection related to the growing condition.

“This new law will ensure Alpha-Gal Syndrome is added to the state’s reportable disease list so we can better support patients and healthcare providers as they work to understand and treat this disease,” Stanley said.

Stanley, who serves as vice chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, said improving awareness and public health monitoring of Alpha-Gal Syndrome is critical.

To further awareness efforts, the Oklahoma Senate adopted Senate Resolution 28, declaring May as Alpha-Gal Awareness and Prevention Month in Oklahoma to help increase public understanding of the condition and encourage tick-bite prevention efforts statewide.

“Recognizing Alpha-Gal Awareness Month is an important opportunity to educate Oklahomans about this serious condition and the impact it has on families across our state,” Stanley said. “I was proud to author SB 1644 and support the adoption of SR 28 to encourage prevention and education efforts related to tick exposure and Alpha-Gal Syndrome.”

Stanley’s Senate Bill 1644 will take effect Nov. 1.

SQ 832 means higher prices

Supporters of State Question 832, which would impose a California-style wage law in Oklahoma that continually increases the state minimum wage based on the cost of living in places like New York City, portray it as a magic elixir that will boost economic growth and wages for all.

In reality, SQ 832 will boost prices for all while reducing job opportunities for many.

State Question 832 would impose a $15 an hour minimum wage and require rapid escalation every year thereafter, putting the wage mandate on a fast track to $35 and higher in future years.

Obviously, as wages rise, some businesses will reduce job creation, cut worker hours, or resort to automation.

But the ripple effects of SQ 832 mean those entry-level workers, and all Oklahomans, will also pay higher prices.

Ah, check it out, the same names behind almost every sleazy, dirty trick in Oklahoma politics are doing it again, just skirting the fringes of legality, as their custom is. If it's dirty, questionable, or unethical, you can almost bet money that political consulting firm CAMP or someone with ties to consultant Fount Holland is behind it:

News 4 investigates: PAC running AI-generated anti-Mazzei ad tied to firm running Drummond campaign

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The man behind a political group running a controversial AI-generated attack ad in Oklahoma’s governor’s race also holds a top position at the firm running a different candidate’s campaign—raising questions about whether the two are illegally coordinating.

The group’s ad targets Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Mazzei. The firm in question runs the campaign of opponent Gentner Drummond.

Mazzei’s campaign accuses the group of illegally coordinating with Drummond’s campaign. The group and Drummond’s campaign both deny it.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (May 11th) - Americans for Prosperity-Oklahoma (AFP-OK) praised Gov. Kevin Stitt for signing a new guidance transparency bill. Senate Bill (SB) 1433 reforms the state’s Administrative Procedures Act to ensure that any state agency guidance documents – such as memos, policy statements, or directives – are made public so that people can better understand how agencies interpret and enforce laws and regulations.  

AFP-OK State Director John Tidwell gave the following statement: 

OKLAHOMA CITY (April 30th) – Rep. Denise Crosswhite Hader, R-Piedmont, today is reminding Oklahomans they can opt-in on a federal income tax credit next year for individual contributions to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs). Funding is to be used for scholarships for elementary and secondary education expenses.

Crosswhite Hader is the House author of House Bill 3704, which recently was signed into law by the governor. She said the federal program is similar to the Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship program, a state tax-credit program that supports scholarship efforts in Oklahoma.
