Fetgatter Comments on Governor's Adversity Toward Tribal Nations

OKLAHOMA CITY – House Tribal and External Affairs Leader Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee, today issued the following statement after listening to Gov. Kevin Stitt's annual State of the State address. "With the leaders of many of our Native American tribes looking on from the House gallery, the governor made a mockery of our state’s unique history and the valued partnership our state has had with our tribal citizens for over 100 years. The governor says he has worked tirelessly to maintain unity of one Oklahoma, however he continues to ignore the reality of who we are as a state and single-handedly has destroyed decades of collaboration between state and tribal leaders. "When the governor, in his last State of the State speech, had the opportunity to correct the wrongs he has inflicted on our state’s tribes, he instead chose to exacerbate the divide and ignore the partnerships that have benefited Oklahomans for years in health care, public safety, education, infrastructure and many other areas of potential collaboration. "The Supreme Court ruling did not in any way make half of our state a reservation, and the governor knows it. The McGirt decision simply affirmed the U.S. Constitutional law of citizens who were unjustly removed from their homes and were given a promise of self-governance. "The end of Governor Stitt’s term gives us an opportunity to build on existing partnerships with our tribes. I hope our state’s next governor embraces and respects these sovereigns and their many contributions to our state."

Fetgatter Praises Implementation of Food Truck Fire Suppression Permitting Process

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee, today praised efforts by the Oklahoma Liquefied Petroleum Gas Administration (OLPGA) for completing the development and implementation of the new food truck permitting process outlined in House Bill 2459 . The bill, which goes into effect Nov. 1, requires all mobile food preparation vehicles utilizing, handling, or transporting liquefied petroleum gas (propane) or any liquefied petroleum gas system, equipment, container, apparatus or appliance to obtain and maintain a permit from, and be inspected annually by the OLPGA. "My goal with this new law was to centralize the permitting process for food trucks instead of them having to get permits from multiple municipalities while maintaining they are properly equipped with fire suppression methods to keep workers and the public safe," Fetgatter said. "I'm extremely grateful to the Oklahoma LP Gas Administration for their quick work to ensure there are limited disruptions to these operators in getting the proper permits to comply with this new law. Great work by all." To be compliant with the new law, operators will need to submit a food truck permit application and attestation to the OLPGA by Oct. 31 this year. They will have until Nov. 1, 2026, to get the physical inspection completed. Both will need to be renewed annually. Applications received after the deadline will still be accepted, but operators may be temporarily disrupted in certain cities until the application is approved and the permit issued. The OLPGA said it worked with lawmakers, stakeholders and food truck operators to complete the new permitting process. The goal was supporting business continuity and minimizing disruption to food truck operations while ensuring compliance with new statutory public safety requirements. To implement the requirements of the new law, the administration wrote emergency rules that have been reviewed and endorsed by its Rules Committee. Legal counsel for the group has confirmed that formal approval from the Board was not required to publish and implement the new process. The Legislature will later be tasked with approving the rules to make them permanent, but they can stand as they are for now. The full process, permit and attestation forms, and additional resources can be found online at https://oklahoma.gov/lpgas/food-trucks.html . In addition, all mobile food preparation vehicles generating grease-laden vapors must obtain inspections from the State Fire Marshal and be licensed by the State Department of Health. Political subdivision regulations also must be followed.
