Miller Receives Vic Bird Airvangelist Award

Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, has received the Oklahoma Airport Operators Association’s Vic Bird Airvangelist Award, recognizing her advocacy and leadership in support of Oklahoma’s aviation and aerospace industry. The Vic Bird Airvangelist Award honors individuals who promote public understanding of aviation and work to strengthen the aerospace industry across Oklahoma. The award is named in honor of longtime Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission director Vic Bird, who was widely known for his dedication to aviation growth and education throughout the state. Miller serves as vice chair of the Oklahoma Legislature’s Aerospace Caucus and represents House District 82, which includes northwest Oklahoma City, west Edmond and Deer Creek. She is also in her fifth year serving as chair of the House Appropriations and Budget Transportation Subcommittee, where she directly works on transportation funding priorities and significant strategic investments in Oklahoma’s transportation system, including airports and aviation infrastructure across the state. Throughout her time in the Legislature, she has championed efforts to strengthen Oklahoma’s aviation industry through infrastructure investment, workforce development and policies aimed at positioning Oklahoma as a national leader in aerospace innovation. "I’m incredibly honored to receive the Vic Bird Airvangelist Award," Miller said. "Oklahoma has a long and proud history in aviation and aerospace, and I believe we have an incredible opportunity to keep building on that legacy. Supporting our airports and aviation infrastructure is about economic growth, innovation, public safety and creating opportunities for future generations. I’m grateful to work alongside so many dedicated industry leaders, airport operators and local partners who care deeply about the future of aviation in our state."  The Oklahoma Airport Operators Association said Miller has continued advocating for aviation growth in Oklahoma while supporting policies that help ensure the safety and long-term success of airports and aerospace infrastructure across the state.

Bill Supporting Mental Health Workforce Signed by Governor

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, today commented on the signing of House Bill 4275 , a measure aimed at strengthening and expanding Oklahoma’s mental health workforce by providing clarity and consistency in certification standards.  HB 4275 updates state law to allow certified behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists to maintain their certification through employment at the city and county level. The measure helps expand local access to care and strengthens support services for county sheriffs, courts, and first responders, including police and fire departments.  Miller said the changes will help communities better respond to mental health needs by supporting the people on the front lines of care.  "These are the people meeting others where they are and helping them navigate some of the hardest moments in their lives," Miller said. "They should be able to focus on that work without unnecessary barriers standing in the way of serving those who rely on their support most. This law helps clear the way so more communities can build strong, local support systems."  Sen. Aaron Reinhardt, R-Jenks, is the Senate author of the bill.  "This is a widely supported reform that will strengthen Oklahoma’s response to mental health crises and help connect people with the care they need," Reinhardt said. "Certified behavioral health case managers can play a critical role alongside police officers and firefighters by de-escalating situations and connecting individuals to support services. I appreciate Representative Miller’s leadership on this issue."  Miller said the measure reflects a broader effort to strengthen Oklahoma’s behavioral health system through practical updates that allow providers to serve in critical roles in their cities and counties while maintaining professional standards.  HB4275 will take effect Nov. 1, 2026.

Bill Supporting Military Families’ School Transfers Signed Into Law

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, and Sen. Adam Pugh, R-Edmond, applauded the signing of House Bill 4274 , a measure to support military families by improving school transfer access for their children. HB4274 updates Oklahoma’s open transfer law to better support active-duty military families during relocation. The measure requires school districts to treat military students relocating under official orders as in-district residents during enrollment periods, allowing schools to begin processing enrollment paperwork earlier and giving families greater certainty and stability as they transition to a new community. Currently, many military families must wait until out-of-district enrollment opens in the summer before beginning the process, often leaving them without confirmation of placement until just weeks before the school year begins. HB4274 helps remove that uncertainty by allowing families to start enrollment before establishing residency, helping students remain on track academically and providing military families reassurance during an already demanding move process. "When your family is relocating on military orders, everything moves quickly and there’s a lot to navigate all at once," Miller said. "Getting your kids enrolled in school shouldn’t be the part that slows you down. This helps ensure continuity in their education so students can get established in their new school right away. I’m grateful to Sen. Pugh for partnering with me to get this across the finish line so families can settle in and students can start strong from day one." Sen. Adam Pugh, R-Edmond, is the Senate author of the measure. "Military families already sacrifice so much in service to our country, and frequent moves are part of that reality," Pugh said. "As an Air Force veteran, I know how important stability and continuity are for children during those transitions. This bill helps ensure students can get enrolled quickly and seamlessly so families can focus on settling into their new community instead of navigating red tape. It’s a commonsense step that shows Oklahoma values and supports the men and women who serve. I appreciate Representative Miller for getting this through on the House side." HB4274 has been signed into law and will take effect July 1, 2026.
