Legislative Updates for the Week of 3/3/2025

Big Food is Big Mad!!

🚨 ACTION ALERT: STOP THE TROJAN HORSE BILL – SB 1078! SUPPORT SB 4! 🚨

Oklahoma lawmakers are playing dirty! After the Pesticide liability protection bill HB 1755 failed, its dangerous language has been sneakily resurrected in SB 1078! This Trojan Horse bill gives foreign pesticide companies like Bayer immunity from lawsuits, even when they hide health risks from the public. This new bill is being heard tomorrow (3/3/2025) at 10 AM in the Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee!

Meanwhile, SB 4—a bill that would ban harmful food dyes and chemicals linked to health problems—is also being heard tomorrow in the same committee. The Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee must protect Oklahomans, not corporate interests!

🛑 TELL SENATORS:
✔ Vote YES on SB 4 to protect public health.
❌ Vote NO on SB 1078 to stop corporate immunity for pesticide giants.

📧 EMAIL THE SENATE AGRICULTURE AND WILDLIFE COMMITTEE NOW!

Subject: Vote YES on SB 4, NO on SB 1078

Dear Senators,

I am writing to urge you to vote YES on SB 4 and NO on SB 1078 in the Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee.

✔ SB 4 is a commonsense bill that removes harmful food dyes and chemicals linked to serious health risks. It gives companies time to reformulate and ensures safer food for Oklahoma families.

❌ SB 1078 is a Trojan Horse bill that resurrects the failed HB 1755 and protects pesticide companies—like Bayer —from being held accountable when they hide health risks. This bill removes the right of Oklahomans to seek justice if they are harmed.

This ZOMBIE bill keeps coming back because corporate interests want immunity at the expense of Oklahoma families and farmers. Don’t fall for it. Please vote NO on SB 1078 and YES on SB 4 to put the health and rights of Oklahomans first.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City, OK]


📢 TOMORROW (3/3/2025) at 10 AM is the hearing—email senators NOW and spread the word!
