SUMMARY: Heartland Medical Direction, representing a third of Oklahoma’s EMS agencies, has sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt and other state leaders, citing consistent mismanagement and a lack of accountability within the state’s emergency medical services. Heartland claims this has compromised public safety and EMS care. Despite over a year of complaints to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), no action has been taken. The OSDH responded, calling the move disappointing and stating they are engaging with willing partners to improve the state’s trauma system, focusing on collaboration with those open to meaningful discussions.

SUMMARY: Discussions on sports betting in Oklahoma have been ongoing for years, but new leadership in the House and Senate has created uncertainty. Governor Kevin Stitt advocates for a free market approach, rejecting bills that would give tribes a monopoly. Some legislators worry about the impact on existing tribal gaming agreements, while others believe working with tribes is essential for passing sports betting legislation. There are currently five sports betting bills, with one—Senate Bill 125—having made it out of committee. This bill is sponsored by Senator Dave Rader, a former Tulsa Golden Hurricane coach.
