| This is a move to enable those concerned about the instability of the dollar and its continued deflated value to have a second option.
The Oklahoma House developed HB1197 and HB1199 to enable Oklahoma to give Oklahomans this option.
ON March 24, 2025, the Oklahoma House passed HB1197 and HB1199 by a vote of 77 (Republicans) to 15 (Democrats) and sent the bill to the Senate for a vote. It went to the Senate retirement and government resources committee where it passed with 7 (Republican) yes votes and one (Democrat) no vote.
Today, twenty-one Senators have signed onto the twin bills as authors and there are 28 Senators ready to vote yes.
ROADBLOCK TO ECONOMIC FREEDOM: LONNIE PAXTON
However, the Senate Pro Tem, Lonnie Paxton, refuses to allow the bill to come to the floor for what would be easy passage sending it to the Governor’s desk.
WE NEED YOU TO CALL & EMAIL LONNIE PAXTON!
Today is the last day it can be scheduled for the 2025 legislative session. If you want this option for Oklahoma, call and text Lonnie Paxton today and ask him to schedule it for a vote on the Senate floor tomorrow (Thursday, May8). _____________
