After tragedy struck Camp Mystic in Texas last summer, the families forever changed by the flash floods vowed to prevent anything like it from ever happening again. Many of these families channeled their grief into advocating for stronger camp safety and emergency preparedness laws across the country.

House Bill 1675, the summer camp safety bill I worked on this year with Rep. Josh Cantrell, wouldn't have been possible without their advocacy. Yesterday, we celebrated their hard work and honored those who were taken too soon at Camp Mystic with a ceremonial signing of HB 1675. It was truly a bittersweet moment as we gathered together in the Blue Room of the state Capitol. I appreciate all the work members of the Safe Summers Foundation and others put into this bill, which establishes stronger emergency preparedness standards for camps and youth outdoor programs to keep Oklahoma kids safe.

Summer camp is a time for kids to let loose, have fun and just be kids. With these new requirements, no one will have to worry about what happens if severe weather strikes a local summer camp. Every camp and every staffer will be more prepared than ever before.

Thanks to News 9 for having me on to talk about some of the new education laws taking effect later this week. These specific measures are just a few things we passed this year to help move the needle on education outcomes and ensure responsible technology use in the classroom.

Sen. Ally Seifried outlines new laws focused on technology in classrooms, learning time, and teacher shortages.

Summer camp should be a wonderful experience for kids where all they have to think about is making new friends and lifelong memories. That's why I’m proud to have worked on this bill to keep kiddos safe at Oklahoma summer camps.

This new law improves emergency preparedness requirements for youth camps, so staff are well-equipped to respond to severe weather or any other unexpected situations that may arise over the summer. My heart goes out to the Camp Mystic families who helped advocate for this law here in Oklahoma and similar laws in other states.

House Bill 1675 requires all Oklahoma summer camps and programs to go through a risk assessment and develop emergency plans for any kind of severe weather.

Please take time today to remember the American heroes who selflessly gave their lives to protect our freedoms. Their legacy lives on in the heart of this nation. I know I will never forget their sacrifices for this country.

It was an honor to work with a great group of constituents to introduce and pass a Senate Resolution that raises awareness about alpha-gal syndrome, a growing health condition that can develop after a tick bite. This condition, which can trigger severe allergic reactions after eating red meat, has become more prevalent in recent years.

Greater awareness of this condition means better tick-bite prevention efforts, earlier detection and lives saved. You can read the full resolution here: https://bit.ly/4tOKKaT

It was a true honor to receive Rogers State University's Distinguished Hillcat Award. My time at RSU played such a big role in shaping who I am today, both personally and professionally.

I loved my time there, especially my time on the basketball court, and I wouldn’t trade my experience on campus for anything. RSU helped me develop the discipline and work ethic I rely on every single day as a state senator. Without question, RSU has helped me become the person I am today.

Congratulations to my fellow alums who were recognized this past weekend. Once a Hillcat, always a Hillcat!

Starting next school year, full-day kindergarteners and elementary school students will get more time for recess!

More time to move on the playground = more engaged students in the classroom. That's why I'm proud to be the author of this new law that ensures these kids get at least 40 minutes of recess every day. 🛝
