AI Summary

  • Urges United States Congress to propose the "Regulation Freedom Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution during the 2nd Session of the 55th Oklahoma Legislature (2016).

  • Proposes that whenever one quarter of members in either the U.S. House or Senate submit written opposition to a proposed federal regulation, a majority vote of both chambers would be required to adopt that regulation.

  • Asserts that federal regulators lack sufficient accountability to elected representatives and that federal regulatory authority threatens constitutionally-protected liberties under the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments.

  • Argues a constitutional amendment is preferable to statutory measures like the REINS Act because it cannot be repealed or waived by future Congresses and does not require presidential approval.

  • Directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to distribute copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the Governor, and Oklahoma Congressional Delegation members.
