Resolution No. 18, introduced by Senators Bergstrom and Kendrix, is a joint resolution that approves certain proposed permanent rules from various state agencies in Oklahoma, as mandated by Section 308.3 of Title 75 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The resolution specifically approves all proposed rules filed by the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission, Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, Office of Management and Enterprise Services, Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics, and the Department of Transportation, provided they were submitted by February 1, 2025. However, it disapproves specific amendments proposed by the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, restoring previous rule language for three particular subsections.
The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to distribute copies to the Governor and the editor of The Oklahoma Register, ensuring that the approved rules and disapprovals are officially documented and communicated. The resolution was passed by the Senate on May 13, 2025.
