Oklahoma SB672 restricts the Governor's power to close businesses during a pandemic without due process.

Oklahoma SB672 amends the Oklahoma Emergency Management Act of 2003 to limit the Governor's authority to close businesses during a pandemic.

This measure ensures due process for businesses affected by such executive orders. The act declares an emergency and becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval.
