Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed Senate Bill 1196, which sought exemptions for two agency directors to concurrently serve on the governor's cabinet.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has vetoed Senate Bill 1196, which aimed to grant exemptions for two agency directors to simultaneously serve on the governor's cabinet. Stitt argues that the law is already clear, allowing him to choose cabinet members from agency directors. The bill came in response to an opinion from the state's Attorney General last month, which stated dual-office-holding is unconstitutional.
