The 60th Oklahoma Legislature convened February 3, 2025. 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.

2025 Legislative Update
We have two NP practice legislation filed this session, HB2298 and SB569. 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.
AONP members receive email updates updates weekly regarding the status of this legislation. Join AONP and if already member, ensure your membership is active so you don't miss out on any call to action emails and important updates.
And don't miss the 2025 Day at the Capitol event, March 11, 2025. You may also choose to attend the Legislative Workshop the morning of the 11th, to learn more about HB2298 and SB569, as well as tips on advocacy and the legislative process.
