I am reaching out to ask for your support for Senate Bill SB 862, also known as the Emergency Powers Bill, currently being considered in the Oklahoma State Senate.

This bill is designed to ensure that unconstitutional mandates like those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic never happen again in our state. The bill clearly defines the constitutional role of government during emergencies and disasters, prohibits government actions that subvert constitutional rights, and establishes penalties for violations. The bill is only 3 pages long. I have attached copies of the bill for you to review if you wish.

The bill is authored by Senator Wingard, has several Senate co-authors, and a House Author. We got it successfully passed out of the Public Safety Committee, but need help getting the full Senate to give the bill a hearing.

Your support and advocacy would be invaluable in helping us get this important legislation passed. Please consider joining us in protecting the freedoms and rights of Oklahomans.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact me. I would love to discuss this with you.
