The past week at the state Capitol was one of the busiest and most contentious this session, filled with political squabbles, impromptu protests and the last large legislative deadline.
Early in the week, Republican leaders in the House and Senate disagreed on a bill that would push back against what theyâve called federal overreach.
This later led to Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, facing calls for removal from the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association.

The Oklahoma House passed legislation that seeks to halt Gov. Kevin Stitt’s plan to outsource Medicaid care management to four major insurance companies.
On a vote of 73-17, the House late Tuesday evening approved legislation for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, which oversees the state’s Medicaid program, to better manage health care in-house.
“Let’s start with reforming the system we have before tearing it apart,” said Republican Rep. Marcus McEntire, the bill’s author.
The House’s veto-proof support for Senate Bill 131, sends the legislation to the state Senate where it faces an uncertain path in the chamber because one of Oklahoma s top senators has expressed support for Stitt’s plan, dubbed SoonerSelect.
