Advising her veto May 3, 2018, of Enrolled SBs 1190, 1287 and 1337.

The veto messages read as follows:

May 3, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Second Session of the Fifty Sixth

1062 Senate Journal

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1190:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1190.

The Reading Sufficiency Act (RSA) has been one of my chief priorities since taking office. Having a high standard that all third-grade students should be able to score at the proficient level has long been my goal for this initiative. In the recent results from the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Oklahoma lost five points in the fourth grade reading scores. This downward trend is concerning since Oklahoma had some of the highest gains on the 2015 NAEP scores. Since the 2015 test, the RSA has been changed to only focus on the reading portion of the test. Each year, the revisions to the RSA have slowly chipped away from the initiative. It is important that the initiative remain unchanged so that Oklahoma policy leaders have the ability to study student performance on the RSA.

When reviewing SB 1190, I had significant concern that the criteria moved from the traditional reporting of the RSA from four-tiered bands to two-tiered bands, creating a pass- or-fail system. This process will mask student performance from parents, school performance communities, and state policy leaders. With a pass-fail system, parents, community members and state education policy makers will not be able to understand if a school is missing the pass level by a point or by significant margins. This also does not allow policy makers to see if all levels of students are improving on tests or just the bubble students.

I understand that the psychometricians who are part of the Oklahoma State Department of Education Technical Advisory Committee recommended to the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability (EQA) two bands since there were not enough questions on the English/Language Arts (ELA) Assessment to provide a four-tiered differentiation. I direct the Oklahoma State Board of Education to adopt a revised ELA assessment to provide the traditional reporting of four-bands for the RSA for the administration of the ELA Assessment beginning in the 2018-19 School Year. In addition, I direct the Oklahoma State Board of Education to accept the adopted cut scores approved by EQA to meet the current assessment for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years.

In addition to the concern above, the language in SB 1190 does not require a certain performance level (achievement band) to be achieved for promotion of students to the fourth grade, but rather left the educational standard based on “the criteria established by the Commission for Educational Quality and Accountability.” This leaves the potential for the lessening of criteria in future years. SB 1190 also takes out reporting requirements regarding a school district’s RSA school plan with annual improvement goals and reporting to the State Board of Education if a district is not meeting achievement goals. I am firmly committed to setting high expectations for all of Oklahoma’s students. Keeping focused on student outcomes through the RSA will set students on the right path for their future.

May 3, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1287:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1287.

I vetoed this bill because the new definition of “bullying” in this bill is not as strong and protective of students as the current language of the law. It is important that students be protected from “harassment, intimidation and threatening behavior” of the current law and this bill removes all of these types of behavior.

I also vetoed this bill for efficiency and cost savings because it is important to continue to give local school districts the flexibility to combine the Healthy and Fit School Advisory Committee with the Safe School Committee

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1400:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1400.

Oklahoma Constitution Art. 6, Section 2, confers on the Governor, the Supreme Executive Power on the Governor. It is totally inconsistent with this Constitutional authority to have the Director of the Commerce Department appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, as Senate Bill 1400 prescribes.

Fifty-third Legislative Day, Thursday, May 3, 2018 1065

Senate Bill 1400 takes authority away from the governor and weakens the governor’s ability to implement consistent economic development policy. Historically, the Department of Commerce is one of the executive agencies under the leadership and control of the governor, who is primarily responsible for the recruitment of business to the State of Oklahoma. The Secretary of Commerce sits as a member of the governor’s Cabinet. Senate Bill 1400 changes the governor’s right and ability to pick her Cabinet members.

May 9, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 86:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 86.

I am vetoing SB 86 because this bill transfers the decision making on state transportation projects from the state Department of Transportation (ODOT) to local municipalities.

Since the state began the ROADS program in 2005, it has been the practice of state leaders to allow the engineers and professionals at ODOT to make transportation project decisions based on sound data and not by political interference. The results of this practice have led to tremendous improvement in the condition of our transportation system evidenced by a reduction in structurally deficient bridges from 1,168 to 185. About 5,000 miles of pavement of the state's 13,250-mile system have been reconstructed or resurfaced. Additionally, 325 cable median barriers have been installed reducing horrific crossover accidents.

However, it is important to hear and consider the concerns expressed by the community of Muskogee, and to that end I am asking ODOT to consider all options in improving the U.S. 69 corridor that has raised the concern of area citizens. Considering the opposition voiced by the community, it would be prudent to provide plenty of opportunity for input, and to give consideration to the effects on municipal revenue collections and the overall economic impact on the community.

Advising her approval May 10, 2018, of Enrolled SBs 340, 606, 894, 993, 1015, 1052, 1098, 1150, 1173, 1299, 1334, 1338, 1583, 1585, 1590, 1605 and 1607.

Advising her approval May 11, 2018, of Enrolled SB 1140.

The APPROVAL message of Enrolled SB 1140 reads as follows:

May 11, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1140:

I have signed Senate Bill 1140 and have caused the same to be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State. After many hours of consideration and investigation of Oklahoma's current practice, I note the aggressive efforts that have been made since I have been Governor and the substantial progress made in finding more temporary and permanent placements for deserving children, reducing by 21% the number of children in state custody. This improvement is due in large part, to the successful public - private partnerships of over 50 agencies, some of which are faith based.

Under SB 1140, the State will not be in any way restricting current practice allowing LGBTQ individuals and couples fostering or adopting. It does not ban same sex adoption or foster care in Oklahoma. Instead, this Bill will help continue Oklahoma's successful placement of children with a broad array of loving families and basically maintain the status quo by setting forth in statute, practices which have successfully worked for the best interest of Oklahoma children. I also note that the Bill mirrors very similar legislation in Virginia which has been on the books since 2012 without any Court challenges. Since then, five additional states have passed similar legislation. Kansas also has a similar bill before its Governor.

Fifty-third Legislative Day, Thursday, May 3, 2018 1067

SB 1140 allows faith based agencies that contract with Oklahoma to continue to operate in accordance with their beliefs. In a day and time when diversity is becoming a core value to society because it will lead to more options, we should recognize its value for serving Oklahoma also because it leads to more options for loving homes to serve Oklahoma children. Other states that have declined the protection to faith based agencies have seen these agencies close their doors, leaving less options for successful placement of children who need loving parents.

Finally, I remain committed to preserving the rights of all Oklahomans who are eligible and want to be considered for parenting. Therefore, I direct DHS, by Executive Order, to immediately publish a list of Oklahoma adoption and foster agencies on its website who are willing to serve everyone who meets the Department of Human Services criteria for being a foster or adoptive parent.

Advising her veto May 11, 2018, of Enrolled SBs 1128, 1212, 1221.

The veto messages read as follows:

May 11, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1128:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1128.

SB 1128 allows doctors to prescribe a fourteen day prescription supply after a patient undergoes a “major surgical procedure” which will be defined in rules by the appropriate medical licensing authority. It also provides the prescriber must believe the prescription is medically necessary, must indicate on the prescription that there is a “surgical acute pain exception,” and must document the condition and lack of alternative treatment options justifying deviation from the seven-day supply limit. The bill also allows for an additional seven-day supply of a Schedule II controlled dangerous substance if deemed medically necessary.

1068 Senate Journal

While SB 1128 contains patient safeguards, such as a requirement that the doctor document the medical necessity of the prescription, the bill ultimately provides an exception to the opioid pill limits contained in Senate Bill 1446. It should also be noted the Oklahoma Commission on Opioid Abuse took great cognizance of the CDC guidelines regarding the proper prescribing of opioids for acute pain. There is also a nationwide movement by retailers to limit customers’ opioid prescriptions to a seven-day supply, as announced by Walmart and Sam’s Club pharmacies. As such, SB 1128 is inconsistent with the goals of the recommendations set for the by the Commission. These listed concerns are also shared by our state’s Attorney General.

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1212:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1212.

Oklahoma is a state that respects the Second Amendment. As Governor, I have signed both concealed carry and open carry legislation. I support the right to bear arms and own a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun.

Oklahomans believe that law-abiding individuals should be able to defend themselves. I believe the firearm requirements we currently have in state law are few and reasonable. SB 1212 eliminates the training requirements for persons carrying a firearm in Oklahoma. It reduces the level of the background check necessary to carry a gun.

SB 1212 eliminates the current ability of Oklahoma law enforcement to distinguish between those carrying guns who have been trained and vetted and those who have not.

Again, I believe the laws we currently have in place are effective, appropriate and minimal and serve to reassure our citizens that people who are carrying in this state are qualified to do so.

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1221:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1221.

Senate Bill 1221, also known as the Alyssa Wiles Juvenile Life Without Parole Sentencing Act, has provisions that, are in my opinion, in violation of the United States Supreme Court decision in Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 SCt. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407. That decision was followed by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in its decision rendered May 10, 2018, in Roberts A. Stevens v. The State of Oklahoma, Case No. PC-2017-219.

I veto the legislation and allow the Oklahoma legislature to properly address this issue in light of this recent ruling.

Advising her veto May 15, 2018, of Enrolled SB 1442.

The veto message reads as follows:

May 15, 2018

To the Honorable President Pro Tempore And Members of the Oklahoma Senate Second Session of the Fifty Sixth Oklahoma Legislature

ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO 1442:

This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED Senate Bill 1442.

1070 Senate Journal

This bill strikes the five (5) business-days timeline in current law for counties to transmit a certified copy of the judgment and sentence of an inmate to the Department of Corrections (DOC). This timeline was placed into law to incentivize counties to transfer an inmate to DOC by setting a cap on the number of days counties could receive per diem from DOC.

An author of the bill says it is needed because of an attorney general’s opinion. It is noteworthy that the same opinion recognizes that without a timeline the counties have no incentive to timely notify DOC they are holding its prisoner. Although the bill strikes the timeline, it makes no effort to provide an alternative solution other than placing the transmittal responsibility on the county court clerk to incentivize counties to provide DOC with the required notice, which would save the state substantial money.

The law needs further amendment to require the judgment and sentence to be filed and immediately delivered to the Department of Corrections by the Court Clerk and a financial penalty to the Court Clerk if the transmittal does not occur within 5 days.
