Read more +The first regular session of the 60th Oklahoma Legislature adjourned Sine Die on May 30, 2025. It is set to resume February, 2026. The AONP legislative team, led by Benny Vanatta, monitors events at the Capitol every day - meeting with legislators and scrutinizing legislation that could affect Oklahoma NP practice. Your AONP membership is vital to this work. We fight harmful legislation and promote legislation that advances Oklahoma's NPs.
During the interim (June through January), we continue to work with legislators and monitor interim studies. Legislative sessions are short, so interim studies provide in-depth research into issues. If you have questions about legislation or the legislative process contact AONP's Executive Director, Benny Vanatta at benny@npofoklahoma.com.
