Sen. Greg Treat’s Press Releases

Sen. Greg Treat today announced plans to introduce legislation requiring parents or guardians to quickly notify authorities of a child’s death or disappearance. Treat said his office received numerous calls and e-mails from citizens hoping to prevent tragic cases like that of Caylee Anthony, and ensure that justice be done for those who would harm innocent children.

In response to confusion surrounding the debate on a bond proposal for the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum (AICCM), Sen. Greg Treat today said it was time to include some important facts in the public dialogue. Senate leadership this week announced a proposed $40 million bond issue for the project would not be heard in the 2011 legislative session.

Sen. Greg Treat today applauded Gov. Mary Fallin’s signing of House Bill 1970 – a measure that will require physicians to administer abortion inducing drugs in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.

“Governor Fallin has been a consistent champion for the sanctity of life, and I’m very pleased she has signed this bill into law,” said Treat, R-Oklahoma City. “Oklahoma is blessed to now have a governor who recognizes and defends the value of human life. This legislation protects women and the unborn from potentially deadly medicine.”

The state Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would require physicians to administer abortion inducing drugs in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Co-authored by Sen. Greg Treat, House Bill 1970 will protect patients and promote life.
