EXECUTIVE ORDER 2023-14
In February 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I issued
			 Executive Order 2020-04, to address the surplus of vehicles owned by the State.
			 While the pandemic necessarily shifted focus from certain efforts-perhaps
			 including the charge of Executive Order 2020-04-the State has reinitiated an
			 aggressive push to downsize the state fleet, after it was brought back to my
			 attention that at least hundreds of state-owned vehicles were being
			 underutilized and were unnecessary to the performance of government functions.
			 Since January 1, 2023, the State has downsized its fleet of vehicles by more
			 than 350 vehicles, and I am confident there is more work to be done in this
			 context.
Therefore, to have additional facts necessary to make an
			 informed decision regarding the State's remaining vehicle fleet, I, J. Kevin
			 Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me
			 pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution and to
			 the fullest extent permitted by Oklahoma law, hereby direct and order as
			 follows:
In order to more accurately track the use of all State vehicles,
			 the administrative head of every "state agency" (as that term is defined in 61
			 O.S. § 327(A)) will take all necessary actions to insure that all vehicles
			 owned by the State and under the control of the state agency have been
			 scheduled with OMES Fleet Management, no later than June 30 
			 th , 2023, to be equipped with an
			 automatic vehicle locator (AVL) and placed on the Fleet Management M5 System.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 2023-24
Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative artificial
			 intelligence (GenAI) are here to stay. Properly harnessed and deployed, these
			 emerging technologies offer tremendous benefits to Oklahomans, their
			 government, and the state's economy.
I'm proud to report that executive branch operations and IT
			 leaders within OMES, along with their data services and science teams, already
			 responsibly utilize AI and GenAI to help executive branch agencies achieve
			 business solutions. From case management to constituent services, these
			 technologies have improved operations, increased efficiency, and resolved
			 problems.
Despite these achievements, more work needs to be done. As we
			 embrace these emerging technologies, we need to identify risks and prepare for
			 potential harms before deploying AI and GenAI throughout state government
			 architecture. We need to ask more questions; seek answers from experts; and
			 decide what, when, where, and how to consume and/or regulate these
			 technologies.
Therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma,
			 pursuant to the power and authority vested in me by Sections 1 and 2 of Article
			 VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, and to the fullest extent authorized by law,
			 hereby order the creation of the Governor's Task Force on Emerging Technologies
			 (the Task Force) until December 31, 2023:
The Task Force shall study, evaluate, and develop policy and
			 administrative recommendations related to the responsible deployment of AI and
			 GenAI. Specific areas of inquiry should include, but need not be limited
			 to:
1. Developing a set of principles
		  and values that will guide the development and use of AI and GenAI within state
		  government;
2. Developing and
		  implementing a governance framework that outlines the policies, procedures, and
		  processes for the development, deployment, and use of AI and GenAI, with
		  special attention paid to:
(1)
data
		  management
(outlining how AI data will be collected, stored, used, and
		  shared);
(2)
model
		  development
(outlining the process for developing, testing, and
		  deploying AI models);
(3)
model monitoring
(outlining how AI models will be monitored
		  for performance, bias, and security vulnerabilities); and
(4)
human oversight
(outlining the role of humans in the oversight and control of AI
		  systems);

			 new, or renewing any existing, contract or any other agreement with a Lobbyist
			 for the purpose of Lobbying without first securing the express, written

			 funds for any state agency, board, or commission to expend taxpayers' money on
			 the hiring of outside lobbyists to lobby the State's legislators on behalf of
			 any state agency, board, or commission.
Therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma,
			 by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the
			 Oklahoma Constitution, hereby continue to prohibit all state agencies, as
