Upon taking office, I directed my staff to begin examining the
			 frequency with which state agencies, boards, and commissions hire outside
			 lobbyists to lobby the State's legislators on their behalf and the costs
			 incurred as a result of such lobbying. In addition, I issued Executive Order
			 2019-02, which required state agencies, boards, and commissions to provide my
			 office information related to the hiring of any outside lobbyists. The
			 information provided demonstrated over $1,000,000 of taxpayers' money was spent
			 annually by agencies, boards, and commissions on outside lobbyists.
As stated in Executive Order 2019-02, there is a role to be
			 played in governmental affairs for persons to lobby legislators on behalf of
			 various interest groups. The Oklahoma Statutes recognize this role in
			 regulating the conduct of lobbyists in Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes,
			 Chapter 62 Appendix 1, Rule 5. However, as Governor of the State Oklahoma with
			 "Supreme Executive power" to manage the Executive Branch of the government, as
			 provided for in Section
			 2
			 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, I have determined that it is not a
			 proper use of state 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.
As a result, 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 prohibit all "state agencies," as defined by 61 O.S.
			 § 327(A), from entering into any new, or renewing any existing, contract
			 or any other agreement with a Lobbyist for the purpose of Lobbying without
			 first securing the express, written approval of the appropriate Cabinet
			 Secretary. For purposes of this Executive Order, the terms Lobbyist and
			 Lobbying shall have the same meanings as defined in Executive Order
			 2019-02.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the chief
			 executives of every State agency, board, and commission for immediate
			 implementation. Copies of this Executive Order shall also be supplied to each
			 Cabinet Secretary.

			 desire to apply for a grant in excess of $100,000.00 of any kind from the
			 Federal government, whether for proposed Federal financial assistance and/or
			 direct Federal development, are hereby ordered to obtain the written approval
			 of the appropriate Cabinet Secretary and the Chief Financial Officer prior to
			 beginning the grant application process; provided, however, this Order shall
			 not apply to (i) "emergency" grant funds from the Federal government where the
			 time from application to distribution of funds is typically less than 10 days,
			 as is often the case with grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
			 and (ii) "formula" grants from the Federal government that an agency, board, or
			 commission has applied for in the past and received. For these purposes, a
			 "formula" grant is one where the Federal government employs a calculation or
			 formula to determine how much money a state will receive, as with Medicaid,
			 Highway Planning and Construction, Family Assistance Grants, Title I Local
			 Education Grants, Head Start, and other similar grants.
The Chief Financial Officer is hereby designated as the State of
			 Oklahoma's single point of contact ("SPOC") pursuant to Presidential Executive
			 Order 12372 to act as the State's contact for the coordination and review of
			 any proposed Federal assistance and/or direct Federal development.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to the
			 Governor's Cabinet, the Chief Financial Officer, and the chief executives of
			 every State agency, board, and commission for immediate implementation.
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 23

Executive Order 2020-5
Today, I signed into law House Bill 1230. House Bill 1230 would
			 require the Department of Education to publicly report on its website
			 information related to the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarship Program, which
			 serves students with special needs, adopted children, and children in foster
			 care. HB 1230 is intended to increase transparency, but may lead to the
			 unintentional release of confidential student information in violation of state
			 and federal law.
To ensure clarity in the implementation of House Bill 1230 and to
			 provide guidance for the Department of Education, I declare that it is my
			 intent that no confidential student information be released through compliance
			 with and implementation of HB 1230. Additionally, under no circumstance shall
			 information be released that would allow public identification of individual
			 children attending specific schools.
THEREFORE, I HEREBY STRONGLY RECOMMEND the Oklahoma State Board
			 of Education implement this Bill consistent with the federal Family Educational
			 Rights and Privacy Act, the Oklahoma Student Data Accessibility, Transparency,
			 and Accountability Act of 2013, and with my statement herein.
This Executive Order shall be distributed to the Superintendent
			 of Public Instruction and members of the State Board of Education, 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 24th

On March 6, 2020, the first case of a novel coronavirus
			 ("COVID-19"), was confirmed in the State of Oklahoma. Since that time, two
			 additional cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in the State. The United
			 States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified the potential
			 public health threat posed by COVID-19 as "high" both globally and in the
			 United States. While impact in Oklahoma has been minimal to date, it is
			 important for Oklahoma to be ready for this threat.
Therefore, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma,
			 pursuant to the power vested in me by Section 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma
			 Constitution, hereby declare and direct the following:
1. All state agencies shall take steps
		  necessary to protect vulnerable populations, including, but not limited to,
		  restricting access to certain locations and facilities. These locations and
		  facilities may include Veterans Centers, Long-term care facilities, Adult Day
		  Care Centers, and Correctional facilities;
2. State agencies, in responding to this
		  threat, may make necessary purchases to fully prepare for a potential outbreak
		  within the State. All such purchases must be readily identifiable as such, as
		  following the conclusion of this threat, all such necessary purchases will be
		  audited to determine if they were made for purposes consistent with this Order;
		  and
3. State agencies shall
		  continue to follow guidance for interaction with the public provided by the
		  Oklahoma Department of Health.
Copies of this Executive Order shall be distributed to all
			 agency directors 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, this 12th day of
