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!

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,
[Your Name]

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.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City]
