Miller, Banning Praise Oklahoma TSA Agents Amid Partial Federal Shutdown

OKLAHOMA CITY – Reps. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, and Chris Banning, R-Bixby, are commending Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents across Oklahoma for their continued dedication during the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, which began Jan. 31. As the shutdown continues and TSA officers miss paychecks, airports across the country are beginning to experience longer lines and added strain on operations.  Miller, chair of the Appropriations & Budget Transportation Subcommittee, said the commitment shown by TSA agents during this time has not gone unnoticed.  "These men and women continue showing up, doing their jobs and keeping travelers safe," Miller said. "That kind of commitment speaks volumes about their character and their sense of duty. We are grateful for their service, especially during a time like this."  Banning also praised the resilience of TSA agents who have remained on the job despite the uncertainty.  "Air travel depends on consistency and trust, and TSA agents deliver both every day," Banning said. "They are a key part of keeping our airports secure and passengers moving safely. We are thankful for their dedication to safety and their commitment to their job." The partial federal government shutdown began Jan. 31 and remains ongoing.

Miller Measure Strengthening ROADS Fund Passes House

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, secured House passage of legislation aimed at strengthening Oklahoma’s long-term transportation funding and improving transparency for major infrastructure projects. House Bill 4280 would increase the funding ceiling for the Rebuilding Oklahoma Access and Driver Safety (ROADS) Fund by $10 million beginning in fiscal year 2027, raising the annual cap to $670 million. The ROADS Fund provides dedicated state funding for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s eight-year Construction Work Plan, which schedules highway and bridge projects across the state. "Oklahoma has made meaningful investments in transportation over the past several years, but inflation and rising construction costs mean we have to adjust if we want to stay on track," Miller said. "This measure helps ensure the ROADS Fund remains reliable and sustainable so ODOT can continue planning and delivering the highway and bridge projects our communities depend on." Oklahoma’s state highway system is valued at approximately $126 billion, with an estimated $33 billion in identified deficiencies. While the Legislature has made several one-time investments in transportation in recent years, the ROADS Fund remains the state’s primary long-term funding mechanism supporting the eight-year Construction Work Plan. HB4280 also includes a transparency provision requiring the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to notify state leaders and local legislators if a project in the eight-year Construction Work Plan is significantly delayed or removed. The notice must outline the project affected, the reason for the delay or removal, the amount of funding needed to keep the original timeline and the impact on ODOT’s Asset Preservation Plan. The bill passed the House with the title off, a standard procedural step for legislation with a fiscal impact, and will return to the House for final consideration if approved by the Senate before being sent to the governor.

House Passes Miller Bill to Expand Mental Health Workforce

OKLAHOMA CITY - Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, secured House passage today of House Bill 4275, legislation aimed at expanding opportunities for certified behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists to serve in more community settings. House Bill 4275 would update state law to allow certified behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists to maintain their certification while working for municipalities and counties as integral members of mental health support teams at the local level.  Under current law, certification is largely tied to employment with the state, certain state contractors, tribal entities or veterans facilities. Expanding eligibility to the county and municipal level would allow these professionals to directly support county sheriffs and first responders, including police and fire personnel, as part of coordinated mental health response efforts.  HB4275 would create uniformity in the rules and standards for certification of both behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists. It also would maintain existing education, examination, supervision and continuing education requirements.  "Allied mental health professionals are a critical part of Oklahoma’s behavioral health system," Miller said. "As we continue strengthening that system, we have to make sure the professionals who are trained and certified to help can serve where they are needed most. This bill removes unnecessary barriers so behavioral health case managers and peer recovery support specialists can work in places like fire departments and courts while maintaining the credentials that ensure quality and accountability."  Allied mental health professionals often work directly with individuals navigating mental illness or substance use recovery, helping connect them to services, monitor progress and provide peer support based on lived experience. As part of municipal and county mental health response teams, case managers and peer recovery support specialists would be able to assist sheriffs and first responders in crisis situations, helping connect individuals to appropriate treatment and community-based resources.  Expanding where these professionals can serve reflects widely recognized best practices and allows licensed clinicians to focus on clinical care while case managers and peers provide critical day-to-day support.  HB4275 passed the House 91-5 and now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
