House Committee Advances Bill Strengthening Human Trafficking Prosecutions and Victim Services

Rep. Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, secured passage Tuesday of a measure that would allow expert testimony to be admissible in court when evidence of human trafficking is presented. Senate Bill 1810 would ensure qualified experts can explain how trafficking impacts a victim’s beliefs, behavior and perception, providing juries and judges with further context when evaluating cases. Currently, expert testimony is already permitted in domestic violence cases, and SB1810 extends that same standard to human trafficking prosecutions. "Human trafficking cases are complex, and victims often endure severe psychological trauma that can affect how they respond in court," West said. "This bill helps ensure that juries hear the full picture so justice can be properly served." In addition to evidentiary changes, the bill expands the scope of the Attorney General’s Victims Services Unit to better support survivors of human trafficking. Services may include counseling, case management, referrals and other critical resources to help victims recover and rebuild their lives. SB1810 passed the Government Oversight Committee unanimously on Tuesday and is eligible to be heard on the House floor. Its Senate author is Sen. Darrell Weaver, R-Moore.

Members Recognize Alzheimer’s Awareness Advocacy Day

Members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives joined advocates, caregivers and families to recognize Alzheimer’s Awareness Advocacy Day. Rep. Nicole Miller, R-Edmond, Rep. Brian Hill, R-Mustang, and Rep. Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, were joined on the House floor by Alzheimer's awareness advocates Dr. Laura Garrett and Colin Oetken. The lawmakers also recognized the supporters who filled the House gallery to encourage support for those with the disease and their caregivers. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, tens of thousands of Oklahomans are living with Alzheimer’s or related dementias, and many more care for loved ones affected by the disease. "The voices of families and caregivers are central to Alzheimer’s Awareness Advocacy Day," Miller said. "I appreciate the role they play in shaping thoughtful policies that improve care and support for Oklahomans affected by this disease." Hill reflected on the personal toll of the disease. His father-in-law battled Alzheimer's for eight years. "Watching a loved one struggle with memory loss is one of the hardest journeys a family can face," Hill said. "Alzheimer's Advocacy Day reminds us why our push for further research and programs matters, because families deserve to have the support and resources they need." "Family caregivers are the backbone of Alzheimer's care, often balancing jobs, children and their own health while showing up for someone they love," West said. "Their sacrifices deserve real support through policies that recognize the emotional and financial toll caregiving can take."

House Recognizes Rose Day, Honors Sanctity of Life

Rep. Tammy West, R-Oklahoma City, today issued the following statement commemorating Feb. 4, 2026, as Rose Day, which recognizes the sanctity of life.   The House adopted House Resolution 1031 , which stated, in part, that the Oklahoma House of Representatives has "led the nation in adopting legislation to defend unborn children" and that "Oklahoma will continue to lead the nation in the introduction and enactment of legislation to protect unborn children." "Rose Day is a powerful reminder that every life is worth protecting," West said. "Each rose presented today represents a life, a hope and a future. Protecting the sanctity of life means standing up for those who cannot speak for themselves and ensuring compassion and care guide our laws and our communities." Rose Day, held annually near the beginning of the legislative session, draws hundreds of Oklahomans who support the lives of unborn babies. They distribute roses, each symbolizing the life of an unborn child, to legislators and other government officials. This year, supporters gathered in the Oklahoma House of Representatives for a short program, where Mia Armstrong featured as the keynote speaker. Mia, who has Down syndrome, is an actress, voiceover artist, author and advocate. She was joined by her mother, Cara.
