Sen. Susan Paddack Issues Statement on Amendment and Passage of Senate Bill 408 by the House

Senator Susan Paddack, D- Ada, issued the following statement on the amendment and passage of her bill, Senate Bill 408, today by the Oklahoma House of Representatives:

“I was surprised today to see that my bill, Senate Bill 408, was amended to include language which would allow school personnel to carry guns in our schools.

That language came from a House bill that was not heard in the Senate this session.

At this point, I do not think that this language will be successful on the Senate side when it comes back over and we are given the opportunity to review and vote on it.”
