The State Chamber of Oklahoma said in a statement Tuesday that it was encouraged by numerous points in Gov. Kevin Stitt’s State of the State address on Monday and is eager to pursue priorities for the business community at the state Capitol.
While the State Chamber, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and Tulsa Regional Chamber are all supportive of the Second Amendment and of gun owner rights, they’re also supportive of businesses in Oklahoma that choose to prohibit guns.
The State Chamber of Oklahoma has identified goals for the 2023 legislative session that focus on workforce and talent development and tax competitiveness.
The plan is to begin with creation of a Workforce Transformation Task Force, which will lead to the appointment of a workforce leader to oversee efforts.
