Woolley Holds Interim Study on DHS, Judicial Reform

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Gabe Woolley, R-Broken Arrow, held an interim study last week on judicial reform proposals aimed at increasing accountability within the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) before the House Criminal Judiciary Committee. The study focused on two of Woolley's measures, House Bill 1100 and House Bill 1164, which would strengthen judicial safeguards and prevent government overreach in child custody cases. “These reforms are about protecting families from unnecessary government intrusion,” Woolley said. “Children should not be displaced based on flimsy evidence or unchecked bureaucratic decisions. If DHS is going to step into a family’s life, it must be held to the highest standard of proof and full transparency.” HB1100 would increase the standard of evidence required before a child can be removed from parental custody. Courts would be required to find "clear and convincing" evidence, rather than the current "preponderance of evidence" standard, before allowing DHS to continue to keep a child from their family. The bill would also add an additional review hearing 15 days after a child is removed from the home to ensure judges receive full information before extending removals. HB1164 would expand accountability by establishing clear procedures for DHS actions, custody decisions and recordkeeping. The measure includes safeguards for emergency motions, regular court reassessments, reporting requirements and audits. It would also provide civil remedies and criminal penalties for agency noncompliance. Woolley said the measures represent a commitment to ensuring government remains accountable to the people it serves. “No government agency should operate without oversight, especially one entrusted with the most sensitive responsibility of protecting children,” Woolley said. “Oklahomans expect their constitutional rights to be respected, and these bills are about putting power back where it belongs, which is always into the hands of families and the courts, not unchecked bureaucrats.” Those who attended and spoke at the study included former OKDHS employees, private investigators, impacted families, attorneys and lawmakers. Woolley thanked participants and pledged to continue working with DHS leadership to improve services while protecting constitutional rights. “While DHS was unable to attend this session, I want to thank Director Cartmell for the conversations we’ve had so far,” Woolley said. “I look forward to further discussions that will make the department stronger and more accountable to Oklahoma families.” HB1100 and HB1164 remain eligible for consideration in the upcoming 2026 Second Regular Session.

Ceremonial Signing Held for Bill Expanding Sarah Stitt Act

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Brian Hill, R-Mustang, joined Gov. Kevin Stitt for a ceremonial bill signing of House Bill 2364 , which expands the Sarah Stitt Act to improve workforce readiness and reduce barriers for Oklahomans reentering society after incarceration. Hill authored HB2364 to ensure eligible inmates are better prepared for life after release by requiring the Department of Corrections to assist individuals in obtaining a REAL ID noncompliant driver license or identification card. This measure removes a critical hurdle to employment and strengthens Oklahoma’s ongoing Restorative Workforce Initiatives. “Oklahoma has gone from leading the nation in incarceration rates to achieving one of the lowest recidivism rates,” Hill said. “HB2364 builds on that success by helping Oklahomans leaving incarceration take meaningful steps toward rejoining the workforce and contributing to their communities. In addition to supplying people the tools to succeed, every individual reenters the workforce saves taxpayers more than $20,000 each year. This legislation creates pathways for Oklahomans to rebuild their lives and support their families.” The Sarah Stitt Act, first passed in 2021, requires the Department of Corrections to provide inmates with essential documents prior to release, including vocational training records, work history, Social Security cards and resumes. HB2364 expands those requirements by prioritizing identification documents and ensuring inmates leave with the paperwork they need to obtain employment. “Ensuring that individuals leave incarceration with proper identification is a simple step that makes a big difference,” Hill said. “By reducing barriers to work, we are investing in the lives of our great state, building stronger communities, and moving Oklahoma forward.” The legislation also reflects Gov. Stitt’s policy pillars focused on Criminal Justice Reform and Classroom to Careers, supporting Restorative Workforce Initiatives that strengthen Oklahoma’s economy and communities. HB2364 takes effect Nov. 1, 2025.

Humphrey Asks AG to Launch Grand Jury Investigation into Judicial Matters

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, today asked Oklahoma's attorney general to establish a multi-county grand jury to investigate the Oklahoma judicial system. In his letter, Humphrey referenced a recent federal appeals court ruling that favored a family suing members of the Wagoner County sheriff's office. Jeffrey Krueger died in 2019 after an arrest. His family sued arguing deputies used excessive force during the arrest. The United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit recently ruled the defendants in the lawsuit are not entitled to qualified immunity and the district court's recitation of the facts was incomplete. "Being a former law enforcement officer myself, I am generally going to be on the side of law enforcement," Humphrey said. "But this case deserves much greater scrutiny." Humphrey also referenced a recent Oklahoma Supreme Court public reprimand of Special Judge Emily Mueller. In their rebuke, justices noted violations of the state's Judicial Code of Conduct and found the judge's behavior to be biased, rude, undignified and disrespectful to attorneys and others in and out of her courtroom. "Based on the revelations revealed in these current reviews of our Oklahoma judicial system, I feel that you no longer can avoid calling a multi-county grand jury," Humphrey wrote to the attorney general. "I encourage you to act swiftly in convening a multi-county grand jury to look into these and all other matters." A full copy of the letter can be read here .
