			 hereby declare the following:
1.
		  Tornadoes, severe storms, straight-line winds, and flooding beginning May 8,

		  the State with respect to carrying out disaster emergency functions during the
		  continuance of the State emergency pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma
		  Emergency Management Act of 2003.
3. There is hereby declared a disaster
		  emergency caused by the tornadoes, severe storms, straight-line winds, and

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Today, I signed into law Senate Bill 687, which establishes a
			 statewide regulatory system for massage therapy, including setting the
			 licensing qualifications, renewal procedures, and professional standards for
			 massage therapists and massage therapy schools. Although the primary purpose of
			 the statute is to regulate legitimate practitioners, it may also help to
			 decrease the use of massage businesses as fronts for illegal activities like
			 prostitution and human trafficking; the required training and professional
			 examinations necessary to achieve licensure will generally differentiate bona
			 fide massage therapists from more disreputable counterfeits.
Some localities have voiced concern regarding Section
			 4200.10(A) of
			 Title 59, which reads, "The Massage Therapy Practice Act shall supersede all
			 ordinances or regulations regulating massage therapists in any city, county, or
			 political subdivision." These cities are worried that this provision could be
			 broadly applied to local anti-vice ordinances and/or law enforcement
			 activities. The plain language of this provision, however, as well the basic
			 tenets of statutory construction, mean that ordinances targeting crimes like
			 prostitution and human trafficking but only incidentally affecting massage
			 therapy are still operative and should be enforced, where appropriate.
This law establishes consistent public health and safety
			 standards across Oklahoma, including in unincorporated areas that are subject
			 only to state law; avoids duplicative layers of regulation on small businesses;
			 and complements local law enforcement initiatives targeting prostitution and
			 human trafficking. For these reasons, I have signed Senate Bill 687 into
			 law.
This Executive Order shall be distributed to the Executive
			 Director of the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering and to all of
			 my Cabinet Secretaries, who shall cause the provisions of this Order to be
			 implemented as herein directed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal
			 of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 11th
			 day of May, 2016.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Today, I signed into law House Bill 2599, which, among other
			 things, generally prohibits unmanned aircraft from being flown within a close
			 proximity of critical infrastructure like chemical manufacturing facilities and
			 electrical power generating facilities. This law, however, does not apply to an
			 "unmanned aircraft [UA] that is being used for a commercial purpose, if the
			 operator is authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] to conduct
			 operations over that airspace."
The aforementioned exemption for commercial operators is sound
			 policy: since commercial operators are already held to federal standards that
			 are more rigorous than those for hobbyists or recreational fliers, and are also
			 subject to a federal permitting process, more regulation is not needed to
			 protect the public interest. And, because federally-regulated commercial
			 operators may receive a blanket Certificate of Waiver or Authorization for
			 flights anywhere in the country, as long as the flights are conducted in
			 compliance with certain, specific FAA safety standards-including, for instance,
			 height and daytime flight restrictions, as well as avoidance of restricted
			 airspace-it is only logical to equate "operations over that airspace" with
			 "operations over airspace as authorized by the FAA." Any different
			 interpretation would not only be inconsistent with FAA regulation, but also
			 could force commercial operators to seek the written consent of the facility
			 owner or operator prior to flight-a task so logistically difficult as to
			 functionally disallow commercial UA operations in Oklahoma.
Accordingly, to the extent that any Oklahoma agency is called
			 upon to interpret the exemption at issue (to be codified at Section
			 322(C)(9) of Title
			 3 of the Oklahoma Statutes), I hereby direct that such interpretation shall be
			 consistent with this Executive Order.
This Executive Order shall be distributed to the Oklahoma
			 Aeronautics Commission and to all of my Cabinet Secretaries, who shall cause
			 the provisions of this Order to be implemented.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal
			 of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 18th
			 day of May, 2016.
