This product reflects hundreds of hours of effort and dedication to address as many legal issues concerning the implementation of SQ788. Furthermore, there are substantial conflicts of law created by the passage of SQ788, which will require amendatory or repealer language addressing inconsistent provisions of law in Title 63 and beyond. In order to provide clarity, consistent application of the law, and to avoid extensive costly litigation for the state, we urge the Legislature to address these issues in a limited special legislative session prior to the acceptance of commercial business applications by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The cost of a special session will be dwarfed by the potential cost of litigation if licenses are granted and the legislature subsequently changes the rules of the game, thus creating a taking and a cause of action for likely hundreds of potential commercial applicants.
We all appreciate the time and effort of the Oklahoma State Department of Health Staff and the members of the Joint Legislative Committee in attempting to address these issues in a timely, responsible manner; however, all of these efforts will be for naught if these issues are not addressed sooner than later.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Collectively, we stand ready as a resource to address this issue and assist staff and any other interested parties.
Robert "Bud" Scott, Esq. Executive Director New Health Solutions Oklahoma, Inc.
