We’ve completed the second month of session, and the pace at the Capitol has been full steam ahead! With the first major deadline behind us, the House has worked through hundreds of measures, sending 456 bills and resolutions to the Senate and receiving 285 from the Senate in return.
I’m proud that several of my bills have passed the House and are now in the Senate for consideration, including measures focused on strengthening penalties for crimes involving fi****ms, improving public safety laws, and increasing transparency and accountability in areas like home warranty services and vehicle collision reporting. I was also proud to see House Bill 4141 pass the House unanimously, supporting the continued role of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner coordinators and ensuring victims receive the care and resources they need.
This month also included meaningful moments on the House floor. I had the honor of recognizing Chief Master Sergeant Walter J. Kula Jr. as Veteran of the Week, celebrating his decades of service to our country and continued commitment to our community. We also recognized the Choctaw High School Drama Team for another outstanding season, including earning their 19th state championship. Their dedication and excellence continue to represent our district well.
We also welcomed students and advocates to the Capitol, including a House page from our community and organizations working to support children, families, and individuals across Oklahoma. These visits are always a reminder of the people we serve and the importance of the work being done here.
The next major deadline for Senate bills to make it out of policy committees is April 9. As we move further into the second half session, the House is now focused on reviewing Senate bills and continuing the work ahead. Please know that I remain committed to representing our great District 101 and advancing policies that support our community!
