CITY – The Oklahoma House of Representatives today elected Rep. Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, as Speaker of the House and Rep. Anthony Moore, R-Clinton, as Speaker Pro-Tempore for the 60th Legislature. </p><p>"I am excited and deeply humbled to serve the state of Oklahoma in this capacity," said Hilbert. "This is not a responsibility I take lightly. Our state faces enormous challenges. Many of these won’t be solved overnight or even during our time in the Legislature. But our calling is greater: to tackle generational challenges, even if we don’t see the solutions come to fruition during our tenure.” </p><p>The Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives is the body’s chief presiding officer and is responsible for committee appointments, the flow of legislation and the management of the House budget and staff. The speaker also serves as an ex-officio voting member on all House committees. </p><p>In Hilbert's eight-year tenure in the House, he has authored over 40 bills that have been signed into law. Oklahoma’s budget is in better shape than it has ever been and the budget negotiation process is more transparent than ever, due in part to Hilbert’s efforts as Vice Chairman of the Appropriations and Budget Committee and his previous leadership positions. </p><p>Hilbert, 30, will be the youngest House speaker in Oklahoma state history and only the second Republican speaker 30 years old or younger in any state since 1873. Hilbert was elected in 2016 to represent House District 29, which contains portions of rural Creek and Tulsa counties. He holds a bachelor's degree in agribusiness and a master’s in business administration from Oklahoma State University, where he also served as Student Government Association President. </p><p>Hilbert and his wife, Alexis, have two daughters, Addison (5) and Dorothy (2). The family lives in Bristow and are members of Foundation Church in Sapulpa. </p><p>The Speaker Pro Tempore is the second-highest ranking officer in the House and assists the Speaker in managing the legislative agenda, guiding bills through the legislative process and coordinating with committees. </p><p>"I am truly grateful for this opportunity given to me by my peers and I am eager to get to work with Speaker Hilbert," said Moore. "Together, we will focus on strengthening our state's economy and addressing the needs of all Oklahomans—whether in schools, on our roads, in hospitals, workplaces, or public service agencies. The best days for Oklahoma are still ahead." </p><p>Moore was elected to the House in 2020. He most recently served as chair of the House Higher Education and Career Tech Committee as well as a member of the Appropriations & Budget Committee, among others. During his time in office, he has voted on legislation to protect life and the Second Amendment, reduce rules and regulations, lower taxes, defend property owners' rights, preserve water resources, and protect girls' sports and parental rights. He's demanded law and order and voted to improve education and teacher pay, among many other conservative causes. </p><p>Moore is a fifth-generation native of Custer County. He's a graduate of Clinton High School and holds a bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Christian University and a law degree from Oklahoma City University. He and his wife, Rachel, and their three children, live in Clinton. </p><p>The 60th legislature will convene on Monday, February 3, 2025, for the first regular session. </p></div></div><a class="mt-3" href="/posts/20250107_1"><button class="h-fit focus:outline-none active:shadow-none disabled:cursor-not-allowed text-white bg-primary theme-shape ig--button global-font cta max-w-full w-auto" type="button"><div class="theme-shape ig--button py-3.5 px-6 grid gap-3 grid-flow-col flex-nowrap items-center border-2 border-transparent justify-center bg-black bg-opacity-0 hover:bg-opacity-20 active:bg-opacity-40"><div><span class="truncate py-px" id="id1">See More</span></div></div></button></a></div><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary bottom-2"/></div></article></div></div><section class="mb-16" aria-labelledby="id3"><div class="relative"><div class="bg-secondary py-6 md:py-8 lg:py-12"><div class="flex xxl:container mx-4 md:mx-10 justify-center"><div class="fixed-width-lg"><h2 id="id3" class="flex items-end type-h3 text-primary brand-font">News & Announcements</h2></div></div></div><svg viewBox="0 0 1025 122" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="absolute ig-fill-secondary" aria-hidden="true" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"><rect width="1025" height="122" fill="currentColor"></rect></svg></div><div class="flex xxl:container pb-8 px-4 md:px-10 overflow-x-scroll md:overflow-hidden"><div class="md:w-full flex justify-center gap-6"><article class="preview-card md:w-1/2 lg:w-1/3 z-[1] mr-4 lg:mr-6 last:mr-0 shadow-md w-full cursor-pointer" role="link" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="id4 id5"><div class="theme-shape theme-border relative shadow-md w-full h-full flex bg-white flex-col min-w-[241px] px-4 py-6 md:px-6 md:py-8 overflow-hidden"><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary top-2"/><div class="mb-6 relative flex flex-row items-center justify-center h-[160px] md:h-[240px] w-full text-white text-center"><div class="absolute h-full w-full"><div class="bg-cover bg-no-repeat min-h-full min-w-full" style="background-image:url(https://dgbf0g52sf9l0.cloudfront.net/A220322_153_e1dbdf80e3.jpg);background-position:50% 50%"></div></div></div><div class="grid gap-3"><div class="flex flex-col flex-wrap min-w-0 md:flex-row gap-y-2 gap-x-4 md:items-center utility-font label"><div>Mar 24, 2025</div><a class="min-w-0" href="/news/recent-posts"><div class="relative flex max-w-full" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="rounded-3xl px-4 py-1 cursor-pointer bg-secondary text-primary max-w-full"><div class="relative label flex items-center utility-font label"><span class="pr-2 flex"><div class="overflow-visible inline-flex"><svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 48 48" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="ig-stroke-primary ig-stroke-bold" role="img" aria-hidden="true" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"><path d="M46.5 12V40.5C46.5 41.6935 46.0259 42.8381 45.182 43.682C44.3381 44.5259 43.1935 45 42 45C40.8065 45 39.6619 44.5259 38.818 43.682C37.9741 42.8381 37.5 41.6935 37.5 40.5V6C37.5 5.20435 37.1839 4.44129 36.6213 3.87868C36.0587 3.31607 35.2956 3 34.5 3H4.5C3.70435 3 2.94129 3.31607 2.37868 3.87868C1.81607 4.44129 1.5 5.20435 1.5 6V40.5C1.5 41.6935 1.97411 42.8381 2.81802 43.682C3.66193 44.5259 4.80653 45 6 45H42" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 30H30" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 36H21" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 10.5H30V22.5H9V10.5Z" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></div></span><span class="truncate">Recent Posts</span></div></div></div></a></div><div class="line-clamp-4"><h3 id="id5" data-ig-id="card-title" class="brand-font text-primary">Bill Modifying Election Dates Sent to Senate</h3></div><div class="wysiwyg-content utility-font line-clamp-4 hide-content card-description"><p>A measure modifying the dates for certain elections has successfully passed the House floor and is now one step closer to becoming law. Rep. Mike Osburn, R-Edmond, introduced House Bill 2106 to increase voter participation in all elections while ensuring Oklahomans have plenty of opportunities to cast their votes. Under the current system, there are 12 possible election dates in odd-numbered years and seven in even-numbered years. House Bill 2106 streamlines this process by establishing five election days annually, scheduled in February, April, June, August and November. "House Bill 2106 is a common sense bill that streamlines our election calendar, reducing voter fatigue and making it easier for Oklahomans to participate in the voting process," Osburn said. "Consolidating elections not only helps keep voters engaged but also ensures a more efficient use of taxpayer dollars and maintains Oklahoma's election security." The bill ensures that major election dates, such as those in November, remain unchanged while reducing the number of special election dates. It preserves exceptions for special elections called by the governor and establishes clear guidelines for when additional elections can be scheduled. While the new structure would affect the timing of some special elections, propositions and candidate races, all other elections, including the absentee and early voting processes, would remain unaffected. HB2106 passed the House floor 92-0 and now moves to the Senate.</p></div></div><a class="mt-auto" href="/posts/news-20250324_3"><button class="h-fit focus:outline-none active:shadow-none disabled:cursor-not-allowed text-primary bg-transparent theme-shape ig--button global-font cta max-w-full w-full mt-4" type="button"><div class="theme-shape ig--button py-[9px] px-5 grid gap-3 grid-flow-col flex-nowrap items-center border-2 border-primary justify-center bg-primary bg-opacity-0 hover:bg-opacity-10 active:bg-opacity-20"><div><span class="truncate" id="id4">See More</span></div></div></button></a><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary bottom-2"/></div></article><article class="preview-card md:w-1/2 lg:w-1/3 z-[1] mr-4 lg:mr-6 last:mr-0 shadow-md w-full cursor-pointer" role="link" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="id6 id7"><div class="theme-shape theme-border relative shadow-md w-full h-full flex bg-white flex-col min-w-[241px] px-4 py-6 md:px-6 md:py-8 overflow-hidden"><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary top-2"/><div class="mb-6 relative flex flex-row items-center justify-center h-[160px] md:h-[240px] w-full text-white text-center"><div class="absolute h-full w-full"><div class="bg-cover bg-no-repeat min-h-full min-w-full" style="background-image:url(https://dgbf0g52sf9l0.cloudfront.net/Rep_Lay_03_24_2025_ee3339878d.jpg);background-position:50% 50%"></div></div></div><div class="grid gap-3"><div class="flex flex-col flex-wrap min-w-0 md:flex-row gap-y-2 gap-x-4 md:items-center utility-font label"><div>Mar 24, 2025</div><a class="min-w-0" href="/news/recent-posts"><div class="relative flex max-w-full" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="rounded-3xl px-4 py-1 cursor-pointer bg-secondary text-primary max-w-full"><div class="relative label flex items-center utility-font label"><span class="pr-2 flex"><div class="overflow-visible inline-flex"><svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 48 48" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="ig-stroke-primary ig-stroke-bold" role="img" aria-hidden="true" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"><path d="M46.5 12V40.5C46.5 41.6935 46.0259 42.8381 45.182 43.682C44.3381 44.5259 43.1935 45 42 45C40.8065 45 39.6619 44.5259 38.818 43.682C37.9741 42.8381 37.5 41.6935 37.5 40.5V6C37.5 5.20435 37.1839 4.44129 36.6213 3.87868C36.0587 3.31607 35.2956 3 34.5 3H4.5C3.70435 3 2.94129 3.31607 2.37868 3.87868C1.81607 4.44129 1.5 5.20435 1.5 6V40.5C1.5 41.6935 1.97411 42.8381 2.81802 43.682C3.66193 44.5259 4.80653 45 6 45H42" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 30H30" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 36H21" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 10.5H30V22.5H9V10.5Z" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></div></span><span class="truncate">Recent Posts</span></div></div></div></a></div><div class="line-clamp-4"><h3 id="id7" data-ig-id="card-title" class="brand-font text-primary">House Approves Child Protection Bill with Unanimous Support</h3></div><div class="wysiwyg-content utility-font line-clamp-4 hide-content card-description"><p>OKLAHOMA CITY – A measure designed to strengthen protections for children in qualified residential treatment programs has successfully passed the House with unanimous support. House Bill 2207 , authored by Rep. Mike Lay, R-Jenks, allows qualified residential treatment programs to petition for protective orders on behalf of children in their care against third parties who pose a physical or emotional threat. The legislation ensures courts expedite the review of these petitions to provide timely intervention for vulnerable children. “This bill is about giving children in residential care the protection they deserve,” said Rep. Mike Lay. “By allowing these facilities to take swift legal action against those who pose a threat, we are reinforcing our commitment to their safety and well-being.” The bill amends 10A O.S. 2021, Section 1-1-105, by defining “third party” as it relates to children and outlining the legal process for residential programs to seek protective orders. Facilities must provide evidence of harassment, abuse, neglect, exploitation or other harmful behaviors when filing a petition. HB2207, with a 92-0 vote, now moves to the Senate for consideration.</p></div></div><a class="mt-auto" href="/posts/news-20250324_2"><button class="h-fit focus:outline-none active:shadow-none disabled:cursor-not-allowed text-primary bg-transparent theme-shape ig--button global-font cta max-w-full w-full mt-4" type="button"><div class="theme-shape ig--button py-[9px] px-5 grid gap-3 grid-flow-col flex-nowrap items-center border-2 border-primary justify-center bg-primary bg-opacity-0 hover:bg-opacity-10 active:bg-opacity-20"><div><span class="truncate" id="id6">See More</span></div></div></button></a><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary bottom-2"/></div></article><article class="preview-card md:w-1/2 lg:w-1/3 z-[1] mr-4 lg:mr-6 last:mr-0 shadow-md w-full cursor-pointer" role="link" tabindex="0" aria-labelledby="id8 id9"><div class="theme-shape theme-border relative shadow-md w-full h-full flex bg-white flex-col min-w-[241px] px-4 py-6 md:px-6 md:py-8 overflow-hidden"><hr class="h-[2px] bg-primary absolute inset-x-[8px] border-primary top-2"/><div class="mb-6 relative flex flex-row items-center justify-center h-[160px] md:h-[240px] w-full text-white text-center"><div class="absolute h-full w-full"><div class="bg-cover bg-no-repeat min-h-full min-w-full" style="background-image:url(https://dgbf0g52sf9l0.cloudfront.net/Rep_Dempsey_445ddc3cf8.jpg);background-position:50% 50%"></div></div></div><div class="grid gap-3"><div class="flex flex-col flex-wrap min-w-0 md:flex-row gap-y-2 gap-x-4 md:items-center utility-font label"><div>Mar 24, 2025</div><a class="min-w-0" href="/news/recent-posts"><div class="relative flex max-w-full" role="button" tabindex="0"><div class="rounded-3xl px-4 py-1 cursor-pointer bg-secondary text-primary max-w-full"><div class="relative label flex items-center utility-font label"><span class="pr-2 flex"><div class="overflow-visible inline-flex"><svg width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 48 48" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="ig-stroke-primary ig-stroke-bold" role="img" aria-hidden="true" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"><path d="M46.5 12V40.5C46.5 41.6935 46.0259 42.8381 45.182 43.682C44.3381 44.5259 43.1935 45 42 45C40.8065 45 39.6619 44.5259 38.818 43.682C37.9741 42.8381 37.5 41.6935 37.5 40.5V6C37.5 5.20435 37.1839 4.44129 36.6213 3.87868C36.0587 3.31607 35.2956 3 34.5 3H4.5C3.70435 3 2.94129 3.31607 2.37868 3.87868C1.81607 4.44129 1.5 5.20435 1.5 6V40.5C1.5 41.6935 1.97411 42.8381 2.81802 43.682C3.66193 44.5259 4.80653 45 6 45H42" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 30H30" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 36H21" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M9 10.5H30V22.5H9V10.5Z" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></div></span><span class="truncate">Recent Posts</span></div></div></div></a></div><div class="line-clamp-4"><h3 id="id9" data-ig-id="card-title" class="brand-font text-primary">House Advances Bill to Lower Insulin Costs</h3></div><div class="wysiwyg-content utility-font line-clamp-4 hide-content card-description"><p>OKLAHOMA CITY – A bill that would lower insulin costs and improve access to affordable prescription drugs through a new state-run program passed the House floor today with a 77-13 vote. The bill authored by Rep. Eddy Dempsey, R-Valliant, now moves to the Senate for further consideration. "No one should have to ration their insulin or go without it because of its cost," Dempsey said. "This bill is about ensuring Oklahomans don't have to forgo the medication they need to survive. By fostering competition and partnerships, we can help drive down costs and create a more reliable supply of insulin for those who need it most.” House Bill 1380 would establish the Insulin Access and Affordability Program within the State Department of Health (OSDH) . The program would be designed to increase competition in the marketplace, reduce insulin prices and help address shortages of generic prescription drugs. Under the bill, OSDH would have the authority to enter into agreements with nonprofit pharmaceutical companies and collaborate with nonprofit organizations to support these efforts. Dempsey, a diabetic himself, has seen firsthand the challenges posed by the high cost of insulin. He also lost a close friend to diabetes—someone he believes this bill could have helped. “For too many Oklahomans, insulin is either out of reach financially or in short supply,” Dempsey said. “I’ve experienced these struggles myself, and I’ve seen the heartbreaking consequences of a dear friend of mine who lost his life to diabetes. If we can prevent even one more family from enduring the pain of losing a loved one to this disease, then we’ve done something truly meaningful.” The legislation would authorize OSDH to establish memoranda of understanding or contracts with nonprofit entities to support the production and distribution of insulin—aiming to enhance affordability for Oklahomans while ensuring a stable supply of this critical medication. HB1380 now advances to the Senate for further consideration. If approved and signed into law, it will take effect on July 1.</p></div></div><a class="mt-auto" href="/posts/news-20250324_7"><button class="h-fit focus:outline-none active:shadow-none

Under the bill, OSDH would have the authority to enter into agreements with nonprofit pharmaceutical companies and collaborate with nonprofit organizations to support these efforts.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDempsey, a diabetic himself, has seen firsthand the challenges posed by the high cost of insulin. He also lost a close friend to diabetes—someone he believes this bill could have helped.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“For too many Oklahomans, insulin is either out of reach financially or in short supply,” Dempsey said. “I’ve experienced these struggles myself, and I’ve seen the heartbreaking consequences of a dear friend of mine who lost his life to diabetes. If we can prevent even one more family from enduring the pain of losing a loved one to this disease, then we’ve done something truly meaningful.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe legislation would authorize OSDH to establish memoranda of understanding or contracts with nonprofit entities to support the production and distribution of insulin—aiming to enhance affordability for Oklahomans while ensuring a stable supply of this critical medication.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHB1380 now advances to the Senate for further consideration.
