A group of Oklahoma lawmakers last week issued the following statements in support of Oklahoma law enforcement officers.
Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02), during a virtual Native American Financial Services Association (NAFSA) workshop held recently, discussed the importance of ensuring government regulations don’t strangle businesses during COVID-19 and the work he is doing to ensure flexibility and extend the deadline for Tribes to spend their Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF).
Congressman Frank Lucas (OK-03) and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (MN-07) have introduced the “Requiring Assistance to Meat Processors for Upgrading Plants” (RAMP-UP)Act.
In support of law enforcement, legislation developed with the assistance of a fallen Tulsa police officer will be named after him next session. Sgt. Craig Johnson, a 15-year veteran of the Tulsa Police Department, was shot recently after a traffic stop went wrong. He later died from his injuries.
