AFP-OK Cheers Passage of House REINS Bill
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Americans for Prosperity-Oklahoma (AFP-OK) today applauded the state House of Representatives for passing REINS (Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny) legislation that will restore accountability in the bureaucracy.
This legislation (H.B. 2728) will ensure that burdensome regulations proposed by state agencies will have legislative oversight before taking effect, protecting taxpayers from the unchecked growth of government.
AFP-OK applauds the state legislature for taking this bold step to rein in government overreach and looks forward to working with the Senate on restoring balance in our government.
John Tidwell, AFP-OK State Director, gave the following statement:
“Ensuring that regulatory power remains in the hands of those directly accountable to the people is a fundamental principle of good governance. We commend Speaker Kyle Hilbert, Rep. Gerrid Kendrix, the bill’s sponsors, and all House members who stood up for transparency and the rights of Oklahomans.
“By enacting the REINS Act, Oklahoma will join the growing number of states prioritizing economic freedom, limiting government overreach, and creating a more predictable environment for businesses to thrive.”
