Argh. Lol And we wonder why things are so screwed up at the Capitol.
Alright, it was in there at some point, but I don't see it now. I withdraw my statement.
It doesn’t matter if it has the emergency clause or not. If Fallon screws us it doesn’t matter. And the more time that passes the more I believe that is what she is going to do.
It sucks that she has not signed it, it also suck that it’s 1Nov. I guess it better than never,
She'll sign.
Place yer bets...lol

That was my understanding as well. From the Oklahoma Constitution:
Article 5:
SECTION V-58
Time of taking effect of statutes - Emergency measures.
No act shall take effect until ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was passed, except enactments for carrying into effect provisions relating to the initiative and referendum, or a general appropriation bill, unless, in case of emergency, to be expressed in the act, the Legislature, by a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each House, so directs. An emergency measure shall include only such measures as are immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and shall not include the granting of franchises or license to a corporation or individual, to extend longer than one year, nor provision for the purchase or sale of real estate, nor the renting or encumbrance of real property for a longer term than one year. Emergency measures may be vetoed by the Governor, but such measures so vetoed may be passed by a three-fourths vote of each House, to be duly entered on the journal.
Article 6:Time of taking effect of statutes - Emergency measures.
No act shall take effect until ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was passed, except enactments for carrying into effect provisions relating to the initiative and referendum, or a general appropriation bill, unless, in case of emergency, to be expressed in the act, the Legislature, by a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each House, so directs. An emergency measure shall include only such measures as are immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and shall not include the granting of franchises or license to a corporation or individual, to extend longer than one year, nor provision for the purchase or sale of real estate, nor the renting or encumbrance of real property for a longer term than one year. Emergency measures may be vetoed by the Governor, but such measures so vetoed may be passed by a three-fourths vote of each House, to be duly entered on the journal.
SECTION VI-11
Approval or veto of bills - Passage over veto - Failure to return bill.
Every bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of Representatives, and every resolution requiring the assent of both branches of the Legislature, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor; if he approve, he shall sign it; if not, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large in the Journal and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members elected to that house shall agree to pass the bill or joint resolution, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered; and, if approved by two-thirds of the members elected to that house, it shall become a law, notwithstanding the objections of the Governor. In all such cases, the vote in both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting shall be entered on the Journal of each house respectively. If any bill or resolution shall not be returned by the Governor within five days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Legislature shall, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not become a law without the approval of the Governor. No bill shall become a law after the final adjournment of the Legislature, unless approved by the Governor within fifteen days after such adjournment.

Yeah, I remember it did show an emergency clause but it seems that it has been removed.

Moms Demand Action/Everytown is really trying to organize here in Oklahoma to fight the bill. They just sent out this text alert to their members.
Everyone should call and also use this convenient link to send a pre-written email to Gov. Mary Fallin asking her to support SB1212 and your Constitutional Right. https://act.nraila.org/takeaction.aspx?AlertID=2003 …

I just called twice and left two different messages and emailed.
I called and was able to get the assistant (option 2). I asked what the governor’s position was on SB1212. The assistant said she didn’t know but would let her know what my position was - either for or against. My response was, of course, an emphatic “yes, I’m for it”.
