SB 1078 would give foreign chemical manufacturers like Bayer and ChemChina immunity from lawsuits, even when they intentionally misrepresent pesticide safety and violate federal law. This bill would strip Oklahoma farmers, families, and cancer survivors of their right to hold corporations accountable.

Your legislators are being told by Bayer, Oklahoma Farm Bureau, and others that this bill will protect Okies from the WHO. NO, IT WON’T! SB 426, which we successfully advocated for and was signed into law last year, already protects us. What we need protection from is Big Chem/Pharma and their thousands of chemicals that will be immune from lawsuits due to the EPA’s failure to properly research, review, and revoke dangerous substances.

These companies should be addressing public concerns, not lobbying for immunity while gaslighting parents. We must take action NOW to stop this bill before it moves forward!

Sample Phone Script:
“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent in [Your City]. I’m calling to ask Senator [Last Name] to vote NO on SB 1078. This bill would give foreign corporations like Bayer and ChemChina immunity from lawsuits, even when they mislead the public about pesticide safety. Please protect Oklahomans and vote NO on SB 1078. Thank you.”

Sample Email:
Subject: Please Vote NO on SB 1078

Dear Senator [Last Name],

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to vote NO on SB 1078. This bill would shield foreign chemical manufacturers from lawsuits, even when they misrepresent pesticide safety and violate federal law. The EPA does not conduct its own safety studies but instead relies on industry data—some pesticides have gone decades without independent review.

Additionally, this bill strips Oklahoma farmers, families, and cancer survivors of their legal rights. Similar legislation has been rejected in Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, and Wyoming. Oklahoma should do the same.

Please vote NO on SB 1078 to protect Oklahomans, not corporate interests.

Sincerely,

Subject: Please Do NOT Hear SB 1078

Dear Senator Daniels,

I am writing to respectfully urge you not to hear SB 1078. This bill would protect foreign chemical manufacturers like Bayer and ChemChina from legal accountability, even when they misrepresent pesticide safety. It would strip Oklahoma farmers, families, and cancer survivors of their rights while relying entirely on the EPA, which does not conduct its own independent pesticide safety studies.

Other states—including Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, and Wyoming—have rejected similar bills. Oklahoma should not be the exception. Please do not bring SB 1078 to the floor.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

SB 1078 is backed by powerful special interests—but we can stop it with YOUR action. Call, email, and tag your senators and representatives TODAY to demand they protect Oklahoma families, not Big Chem/Pharma!

Action Alert for The Week of 3/10/25!

Bayer AG, the parent company of Monsanto, is funding state-level lobbying efforts to shield itself from legal challenges related to Roundup, its glyphosate-based herbicide. In Missouri, where Bayer faces thousands of lawsuits, the company is backing legislation that would make federal EPA labels sufficient under state law, potentially blocking further claims. Critics argue this move undermines public health protections and preempts the MAHA movement, which seeks stricter chemical regulations.

Now, Bayer is attempting the same strategy in Oklahoma with SB 1078. This bill recently passed the Senate Agriculture and Wildlife Committee and now moves to the full Senate for a vote.

This bill would give foreign chemical manufacturers—including ChemChina and Bayer—immunity from legal accountability, even in cases where pesticide manufacturers intentionally misrepresent pesticide safety information and violate federal law.

If passed, SB 1078 would:

Make foreign-owned companies like Bayer and ChemChina immune from lawsuits – stripping Oklahoma farmers, families, and cancer survivors of their right to hold corporations accountable for misbranded pesticides.
Rely entirely on the EPA for oversight – even though the EPA does not conduct its own pesticide safety studies and instead relies on industry data, with some pesticides going decades without independent review.
Remove any incentive for companies to make their products safer, putting Oklahomans at risk.
Disregard emerging science linking pesticides and herbicides to serious health risks.
Mirror protections given to Big Pharma under the PREP Act, which shielded vaccine manufacturers from liability over COVID vaccine side effects.

Many states—including Idaho, Iowa, Missouri (2024), and Mississippi and Wyoming (2025)—have rejected similar bills after fully evaluating their impact. Oklahoma lawmakers should do the same.

This Will Be a Huge Fight – and We Need You!

Right now, SB 1078 threatens to strip away legal accountability from chemical giants like Bayer/Monsanto and ChemChina—just as the PREP Act protected Big Pharma from liability. But fighting this bill requires resources, education, and action at the Capitol.

So far, SB 1078 is being backed by powerful special interests, including the Department of Agriculture and Farm Bureau. Meanwhile, MAHA legislators fighting against this bill are at risk of political attacks. Just look at what’s happening in Missouri: Bayer’s Roundup Propaganda Campaign Exposed.

When we have unexpected shortfalls in donations, our most critical political battles—like stopping SB 1078—are put at risk. We need your support to keep fighting for you at the Capitol!

Call and email your state Senator and ask them to vote NO on SB 1078!

Key Talking Points:

The EPA does not conduct its own pesticide safety studies, but instead, relies on industry data. Some pesticides have gone decades without independent review.
This legislation strips farmers, families, and cancer survivors of their only way to hold companies accountable when pesticides are misbranded or falsely marketed as safe.
Similar bills have been rejected in other states—Oklahoma should not let corporate interests override public safety.
This is similar to the PREP Act, which protected Big Pharma from lawsuits over vaccine side effects.

Sample Phone Script:

“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent in [Your City]. I’m calling to ask Senator [Last Name] to vote NO on SB 1078. This bill would give foreign corporations like Bayer and ChemChina legally immune from harm caused to farmers by over 16,000+ “regulated” by the EPA, who doesn’t adequately review or do ANY scientific research. Please protect Oklahomans and vote NO on SB 1078. Thank you.”

We need your voices NOW to stop HB 1523, a costly and unnecessary school-based telehealth pilot program. This bill would mandate the State Department of Education to contract with a single telehealth provider to offer mental health care in schools—despite the fact that schools already have the ability to work with telehealth professionals and bill for these services through existing funding.

Why Oppose HB 1523?

Undermines Parental Rights – When mental health services are provided directly through schools via a mandated telehealth provider, parents risk being left out of the loop. Parents must remain in control of their children’s healthcare, ensuring that every treatment, assessment, or counseling session is conducted with full informed consent.

Unnecessary Spending – Schools already have access to school based health care services. This bill would waste millions on a redundant program.

One-Size-Fits-All Approach – Local school boards and administrators know their students’ needs best. They should be able to choose from multiple qualified providers rather than being forced into a single contract.

Lack of Provider Capacity – No single telehealth provider can meet the demand for student mental health care across the state. This bill limits choice and reduces access instead of improving it.

Take Action: Contact Legislators NOW

HB 1523 is up for a vote TODAY, and we need you to call and email these key legislators urging them to vote NO.

Subject: Vote NO on HB 1523 – Protect Local Control & Stop Unnecessary Spending

Dear Representatives,

I urge you to vote NO on HB 1523. This bill mandates a statewide telehealth pilot program, even though local school districts already have the access to school based health care services.

HB 1523 undermines parental rights. When mental health services are provided directly through schools via a mandated telehealth provider, parents risk being left out of the loop. Parents must remain in control of their children’s healthcare, ensuring that every treatment, assessment, or counseling session is conducted with full informed consent.

HB 1523 is a waste of taxpayer dollars – It forces the state to spend millions on a program that provides no additional benefits to students.

It removes local decision-making – School boards and administrators should have the flexibility to choose from multiple providers based on their students’ unique needs.

It limits provider availability – No single telehealth provider can meet the demand for student mental health services across Oklahoma.

Instead of a costly, top-down mandate, we should empower local schools to make the best decisions for their students. Please vote NO on HB 1523.

Thank you for your time and service to Oklahoma.

Sincerely,

This vote is happening TODAY, so please take five minutes right now to email these legislators. Every voice matters in protecting parental rights, local decision-making, and responsible spending in Oklahoma schools!

This week brings both good news and critical action items for those advocating for health, parental rights, and environmental safety in Oklahoma.

February 12, 2025

Rep. Dell Kerbs, the bill author, stated that German company, Bayer, requested HB1755. (Bayer is running similar bills in at least six other red states.) Rep. Kerbs said: “The bill doesn’t stop lawsuits. You can still sue if you get cancer.”

Fact: This bill would block any claim that a pesticide was mislabeled. If you read the bill text, it is very clear that the EPA label is considered “legally sufficient” and those injured lose their right to sue—even if the company hid health risks. Bayer, ChemChina, and other pesticide companies have hid health risks for decades per court ordered internal documents. This bill gives them immunity for that deception.

Rep. Kerbs said: “This bill just stops ‘rogue’ judges from forcing new labels.”

Fact: Judges don’t create new labels. Juries simply hold companies accountable if they hide dangers. This bill removes that accountability and protects chemical companies from any blame.

Rep. Kerbs said: “Foreign companies don’t follow the same U.S. rules, and this bill protects American companies.”

Fact: Foreign companies do have to meet EPA standards to sell here. Bayer asked for this bill to get immunity, and Bayer is a foreign company. This also protects ChemChina, who is being sued in American courts by farmers sick with Parkinson’s disease. Both companies have been caught hiding data and lying about the safety of pesticides that harm families health.

Rep. Kerbs said: “EPA decides the label based on full scientific research.”

Fact: EPA does not do its own studies. EPA relies on data from the pesticide maker. Bayer and ChemChina have repeatedly hidden data about pesticide safety from the EPA. “EPA-approved” is not a guarantee of safety.

Rep. Kerbs said: “This bill protects farmers, not pesticide companies.”

Fact: This bill hurts farmers and their families. This takes away their right to hold chemical companies accountable when those companies lie about the dangers from their products.

HB1755 protects foreign chemical companies and puts Oklahomans right to hold them accountable at risk.

Please call Rep. Dell Kerbs and ask him to withdraw this bill. Phone: (405) 557-7345

In addition, call Rep. Brad Boles, the chair of the Energy committee, and ask him not to hear HB1755. Phone: 405-557-7405
