Below is a list of legislation we feel critical to the advancement of liberty and freedom in the Sooner State. Some have been formally endorsed by our sister organizations OK2A and OCPAC. Some are just great bills. All of them deserve our support. We will keep this page updated as the bills move through the legislature so you know who to call to make sure that we can get these bills passed. If a bill is listed as an Emergency, the bill will become effective immediately upon its signing. All other bills will go into effect November 1st, unless otherwise stated.
Once bills have been assigned to various committees you will see that committee’s name in the box next to it so you know which senators or representatives to contact to make sure the bill passes out to the floor. Once that bill has passed that committee the committee’s name will be in bold green font. If the bill fails in committee, the committee’s name will be in bold red font. In some cases, a bill is passed in one committee, then referred to another before a full vote on the floor. Only the committee that has currently passed the bills will be in bold green.
If a bold red No is in the committee box, that means the bill was never given a hearing before any committee.
