The 60th Oklahoma Legislature convened February 3, 2025. The AONP legislative team, led by Executive Director, Benny Vanatta, monitors events at the Capitol every day - meeting with legislators and scrutinizing legislation that could affect Oklahoma NP practice. Your AONP membership provides vital funding for the work we do every day. To fight against legislation that could do harm and to create and promote bills that advance NP practice in Oklahoma.
During the interim, from June through January, we maintain our vigil by working with legislators and monitoring interim studies. Due to the short legislative session, interim studies are necessary, in-depth research of important issues that are conducted by committees to aid the legislators in the upcoming session that begins in February. If you have questions or need information about legislation or the legislative process contact AONP's Executive Director, Benny Vanatta at benny@npofoklahoma.com.

2025 Legislative Update
Our new legislation, SB569, is filed and should be heard in the Oklahoma Senate Health Committee soon. As you know, our NP practice legislation passed the House and Senate last year, but was vetoed by Governor Stitt. The AONP team has spent this interim working with legislators and the Governor to remove any obstacles for passage this year.
