Title

Lawmaker Position

HB 1345Senate 20241x

Reducing Employment Barriers and Improving Access to Healthcare by Allowing Licensing Reciprocity for Psychologists.

With CEA
This bill allows the Oklahoma State Board of Examiners of Psychologists to establish reciprocity agreements to issue licenses to psychologists licensed in other states, if the other states' licensing requirements are "substantially equal" to Oklahoma's.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 10:34-35 – "He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have."
Leadership Insight
The Good Samaritan embodies healthcare freedom - personal compassion delivered without government permission, insurance approval, or bureaucratic delay. He bandaged wounds himself, paid directly for care, and promised to cover additional costs. Healthcare freedom means protecting this direct relationship between caregiver and patient. When government mandates and insurance bureaucracies stand between the suffering and those who would help, compassion is delayed, costs explode, and the wounded lie waiting while paperwork processes.
HB 1712 (Veto Override)Senate 20241x

Increasing Health Insurance Premiums by Mandating Policies Provide Coverage for Durable Medical Equipment.

Against CEA
This motion overrides the Governor's veto of a bill that prohibits health benefit plans or networks from refusing to provide coverage for prescribed durable medical equipment and supplies," which includes items such as wheelchairs and oxygen systems. This includes healthcare providers who are in-network or out-of-network, unless an in-network provider is available within 15 miles. Out-of-network providers must also be reimbursed at the same rate as in-network providers. Each and every health insurance mandate prevents an individual from selecting a plan with just basic or customized coverages to fit their specific needs. As a result, health insurers are forced to only offer costly plans loaded with coverages that most individuals do not need. This can result in lower-income or younger individuals choosing to purchase no insurance plan at all due to the high cost.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.
HB 1955Senate 20241x

Promoting Economic Growth by Eliminating the State Sales Tax on Grocery Items.

With CEA
This bill eliminates the state sales tax for "retail sales of food and food ingredients." This does not include certain items, such as alcoholic beverages, dietary supplements, or prepared food. Local sales taxes are not affected, but future sales or excise tax increases submitted to voters for approval must "provide that the increased rate does not apply to "food and food ingredients".
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Deuteronomy 17:14-20 – "The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself... He must not take many wives... He must not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites."
Leadership Insight
God restricts leaders to protect their integrity and the people's freedom. Limits on power preserve liberty. Leaders who reject accountability invite corruption. Humility before God and equality before the people are marks of righteous governance.
HB 2330Senate 20245x

Expanding Access to Mental Healthcare by Slightly Reforming the State's Draconian Certificate of Need Laws.

With CEA
This bill repeals the certificate of need requirement for psychiatric and chemical dependency facilities, which prohibited any "psychiatric or chemical dependency facility or unit" unless a certificate was issued. Certificate of need laws prevent individuals from opening or expanding healthcare facilities unless they can prove to the government there is a "need" for the expansion and additional competition.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.
HB 2872Senate 20241x

Hiking Health Insurance Premiums by Establishing Minimum Reimbursement Rates for Out-of-Network Ambulance Services and Restricting Cost Sharing.

Against CEA
This bill, the "Out-of-Network Ambulance Service Provider Act," sets minimum allowable reimbursement rates for out-of-network ambulance services under health care benefit plans. Under the bill, the rate is to be set by localities. If a locality does not establish a minimum rate, the rate is equal to 325% of the Medicare rate, or the amount charged by the ambulance service, whichever is less. Additionally, the bill imposes price controls, providing that any cost sharing, such as a deductible, coinsurance, or copayment, may not be greater than for in-network ambulance services.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom.

When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.
HB 3594Senate 20242x

Strengthening Property Rights by Protecting the Right of Individuals and Businesses to Mine Digital Currency.

With CEA
This bill prohibits the state and local governments from imposing certain regulations on digital assets (such as Bitcoin and others). Under the bill, the state may not prohibit or restrict the use of digital assets for purchases or impose taxes specific to payments made with digital assets. The bill also declares the right "to participate in home digital asset mining" and to operate "a digital asset mining business" in industrial-zoned areas. Local governments may not impose sound pollution restrictions that do not apply generally, and may not "impose any other requirements" that do not also apply to data centers. The bill also contains other protections related to digital assets, such as ensuring a money transmitter license is not required.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.
HB 3959Senate 20241x

Expanding Cronyism Through a New Fund to Provide Millions of Dollars to Professional Sports Teams Based on the Number of Employees.

With CEA
This bill, the "Oklahoma Five Major Sports Leagues Rebate Program Act," establishes a fund to provide rebate payments to professional sports teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and MLS. Under the bill, a team is eligible to receive up to $10 million annually, based on the number of full-time equivalent employees. A team must have a total payroll of at least $10 million annually and at least 80% of the employees must be full-time equivalent positions, work an average of at least 30 hours per week, and be subject to state income taxes. The rebate payments are funded using income tax revenue.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.
SB 1259Senate 20241x

Enriching Comcast and Other Woke Corporations by Forcing Taxpayers to Continue to Provide "Broadband Equity" Through a Government Central Planning Scheme.

Against CEA
This bill extends the rebate for the sales tax exemption for broadband equipment "to establish or expand broadband services in underserved or unserved areas." Previously, the exemption only applied to purchases made in 2022 and 2023. Under this bill, the tax credit is available annually. This measure forces taxpayers to enrich woke corporations such as Comcast for infrastructure which may soon be unnecessary due to significant advances in satellite technology from Comcast's competitors, such as Elon Musk's Starlink.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.
SB 1520 (Senate Version)Senate 20241x

Hiking Unfunded Pension Liabilities by $53 Million by Increasing the Ability of Retired Educators to "Double Dip".

Against CEA
This bill increases the maximum earnings that retired teachers may earn by returning to work while continuing to receive retirement benefits (aka "double dip"). Under the bill, the maximum earnings amount is increased from $15,000 to $30,000 for retirees under 62, and from $30,000 to $55,000 for retirees 62 or older. According to the bill's fiscal note, this is estimated to increase unfunded liabilities by $53 million.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Ecclesiastes 5:10 – "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless."
Leadership Insight
The pursuit of wealth without purpose breeds emptiness. Leaders who prioritize accumulation over stewardship lose both meaning and influence. Contentment comes from mission, not margin. Economic freedom flourishes when purpose drives prosperity.
SB 1854Senate 20242x

Strengthening Public Safety by Prohibiting Homeless Encampments on State Property.

With CEA
This bill prohibits any "unauthorized camp" on state property. A warning is issued for the first violation, and a subsequent violation is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 15 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $50. A citation may only be issued if "the person refuses any assistance offered to them by the arresting officer," such as "transportation to a shelter, food pantry, or other place where resources are made available to assist the indigent and homeless." Homeless encampments on sidewalks and streets present many health and safety concerns, including increased crime rates, open drug use, and sanitary concerns.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 13:1-4 – "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Leadership Insight
Government authority is legitimate only when it reflects God's design - to punish evil and reward good. Leaders submit to righteous authority but resist tyranny. Romans 13 is not a blank check for government overreach; it's a framework for godly governance rooted in justice.
SB 1877Senate 20243x

Strengthening Public Safety by Extending the Timeframe for Combining Multiple Retail Theft Offenses.

With CEA
This bill extends the timeframe in which multiple thefts of merchandise from stores may be combined. Previously, if a person committed theft three or more times within 90 days, the value of the stolen items could be combined to determine the severity of the offense (ex. for a first offense, if the value is $1,000 or more, it is a felony). This bill extends the timeframe to 180 days.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 13:1-4 – "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Leadership Insight
Government authority is legitimate only when it reflects God's design - to punish evil and reward good. Leaders submit to righteous authority but resist tyranny. Romans 13 is not a blank check for government overreach; it's a framework for godly governance rooted in justice.
SB 1994Senate 20242x

Strengthening Property Rights by Creating New Penalties for Falsifying Real Estate Documents and Establishing a Legal Process for Property Owners to Remove Squatters.

With CEA
This bill strengthens property rights by allowing homeowners to have an unauthorized individual removed by law enforcement from their property if the homeowner provides a sworn affidavit. Additionally, the bill creates penalties for falsifying real estate documents claiming to be a lease agreement or deed. The bill also criminalizes unlawfully occupying a home and intentionally causing $1,000 or more in damage, if the person is removed through the provisions in the bill.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 21:15 – "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."
Leadership Insight
Justice is not neutral - it rewards righteousness and confronts evil. Leaders who execute justice faithfully create cultures where virtue thrives and corruption fears. Moral clarity strengthens societies; moral ambiguity weakens them.
