Gosh, don't we have to many laws already.....

If you read through them, the majority are just house keeping stuff, although the trade license law will be nice and hopefully draw some more tradesmen, also raising the charitable donations tax credit for donating to schools is kind of nice. People with that much money are going to find ways to get their tax breaks anyways, might as well allow bigger breaks for educational donations.

I’ve thought that for years. But they keep on trying to save us.

I do like this one:

Local law enforcement legally required to comply with ICE detainers​

After the Oklahoma County jail under former Sheriff P.D. Taylor declined to honor immigration detainer requests, a new law will require all law enforcement agencies, sheriffs and jails to comply with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency requests to hold an inmate for an extra 48 hours in some instances.

The detainer requests, which some say are unconstitutional, give ICE agents more time to take an inmate into federal custody if they believe that person violated federal immigration laws or their citizenship status is in question.

I don't remember who said it, but the quote is somehting like, "No man's life, liberty or property are safe when the Oklahoma Legislature is in session"

A lot of new laws are "amendments" to existing laws. The legislature decides to modify a law and makes a new law, which may just delete a portion of an older statute or modify the wording.

I had to laugh that the state is going to name the shittiest 20 miles of highway in Oklahoma (US 287 from Boise City to the State Line) the Donald J. Trump highway. I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.
