Sen. Daniels regulatory reform bill signed into law Monday
Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise
Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law Monday a groundbreaking regulatory reform bill, which will create a Joint Committee on Administrative Rules to review all state agency rules throughout the year and more quickly remove unnecessary and costly regulations.
“State agency rules and regulations must be obeyed like any other laws. While many are necessary, others can be overly burdensome, expensive or unnecessary. If we truly want to break the red tape, the legislature must take its oversight of the rule-making process more seriously, said the bill s principal author Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville. SB 913 provides the framework for the House and Senate jointly to do just that.

Sariah Monfared took the white clay and began to bring her sketch of a skunk to life in the form of a sculpture. Does it really look like it? Monfared said after someone noted the shape of the wire armature that anchors the piece looked similar to her sketch.
The Bartlesville High School senior art student was one of several students in instructor Julie Giovannetti s art class who are participating in a collaborative pilot project with the Sutton Avian Research Center and three professional sculptors from the Oklahoma Sculpture Society.
