- SB 918- This bill would automatically make abortion illegal in Oklahoma if either Roe v. Wade (1973) is overturned or if an amendment to the United States Constitution restoring the State's authority to prohibit abortions is passed.[7]
Civil Service reform[]
- HB 1146- This bill, called the Civil Service and Human Capital Modernization Act, creates a new internal state agency in charge of arbitrating and settling state employee complaints. This agency would have the power to contract administrative law judges to oversee these cases. The bill eliminates the Oklahoma Merit Protection Commission.[8]

- SB 631- This bill makes Oklahoma a Second Amendment sanctuary state.[6]
- SB 172- This bill, called Ida's law, creates an office in Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation dedicated to searching for missing and murdered Indigenous people in Oklahoma and directs them to cooperate with the U.S. Department of Justice on this issue.[9]

Issues and Controversies[]
First Session[]
Anti-Protest Legislation[]
Representatives Robert Manger and Senator Brenda Stanley introduced SB 403 which creates criminal penalties of up to 1 year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine for disrupting political meetings.[13] The bill is likely in retaliation for frequent protests at the Oklahoma County Jail.
Anti-Transgender Legislation[]
SB 2 was filed by Justin Humphrey and Toni Hasenbeck to ban transwomen from competing in women's sports in Oklahoma, despite threats from organizations like the National Collegiate Athletic Association to pull events from the state if the bill passes.[14] Over a dozen events would likely be moved out of state if the bill passes, including the NCAA Wrestling Championship to be hosted at the Tulsa, Oklahoma BOK Center in 2023.[15][14]
Racial Sensitivity Training[]
After two racially insensitive remarks from Republican members during debate a push for required racial sensitivity training for legislators was suggested.[16] The first incident occurred when white Representative Brad Boles used the term "colored babies" during debate in an anti-abortion bill.[16] The second incident occurred when Representative Jim Olsen compared the anti-slavery efforts to anti-abortion efforts while advocating for a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony in Oklahoma punishable by up to 10 years in prison.[17][16] Republican legislators responded with HB 1888 which would ban public bodies from conducting gender or sexual diversity training.[16] The bill was revived later in the session as SB 627.[16]
First Session Break[]
Vaccine Mandate Ban Letter[]
On July 15, 2021, a group of Oklahoma Legislators sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt requesting he issue an executive order banning workplaces from mandating vaccination against COVID-19 or call a special session of the legislature. The letter came after several hospitals in Oklahoma mandated that all of their employees receive the Covid-19 vaccine. The Representatives signing the first letter were Sean Roberts, Lonnie Sims, Steve Bashore, Denise Crosswhite Hader, Justin Humphrey, Jim Olsen, Mark Vancuren, Kevin West, Rick West, , Tom Gann, Wendi Stearman, Chris Sneed, Randy Randleman, Kevin McDugle, , Sherrie Conley, Marilyn Stark, , and .[18]
On July 28, 2021, a new group of Oklahoma Legislators sent a letter to Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma Matt Pinnell requesting he issue an executive order banning workplaces from mandating vaccination against COVID-19 or call a special session of the legislature. The Representatives signing the second letter were Sean Roberts, Lonnie Sims, Denise Crosswhite Hader, , Justin Humphrey, Jim Olsen, Mark Vancuren, Kevin West, Rick West, , Tom Gann, Wendi Stearman, Chris Sneed, Randy Randleman, Kevin McDugle, , Sherrie Conley, , and Max Wolfley.[19]

SB658 Repeal Special Session Calls[]
On August 2, 2021, the Oklahoma House Democrats released a statement pointing out rising COVID-19 rates in the state and called for a special session of the Oklahoma Legislature in order to repeal SB658. The bill bans local school districts from instating mask mandates unless the Governor of Oklahoma institutes a state of emergency. Governor Kevin Stitt has refused to issue a state of emergency.[20][21][22][23]
Interim Study Controversies[]
- Oklahoma Speaker of the House Charles McCall denied a request for an interim study into reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre made by Tulsa Representative Regina Goodwin.[24]
Major Events[]
In January 2021, Mauree Turner became the first publicly non-binary U.S. state lawmaker and the first Muslim member of the Oklahoma Legislature.[25]
On May 6, 2021, the Oklahoma Legislature formed its first Latino Caucus. Founding members included Senators Michael Brooks (D-Oklahoma City) and Jessica Garvin (R- Duncan) and Representatives Jose Cruz (D-Oklahoma City) and Ryan Martinez (R-Edmond).[26]
Leadership[]
Since the Republican Party holds the majority of seats in both the Oklahoma Senate and Oklahoma House of Representatives, they hold the top leadership positions in both chambers.
In Oklahoma, the lieutenant governor serves as President of the Oklahoma Senate, meaning that he serves as the presiding officer in ceremonial instances and can provide a tie-breaking vote. Matt Pinnell is the current Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma. The current President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate, who presides over the state senate on the majority of session days is Greg Treat of Oklahoma City. He is aided by Majority Floor Leader Kim David of Porter. The Democratic minority leader of the state senate is Kay Floyd of Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma House of Representatives is led by Speaker Charles McCall of Atoka. He is aided by Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols of Oklahoma City. The Democratic minority leader is Emily Virgin of Norman.
