RELEASE: House Elects Speaker, Speaker Pro Tempore

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma House of Representatives today elected Rep. Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, as Speaker of the House and Rep. Anthony Moore, R-Clinton, as Speaker Pro-Tempore for the 60th Legislature. 

"I am excited and deeply humbled to serve the state of Oklahoma in this capacity," said Hilbert. "This is not a responsibility I take lightly. Our state faces enormous challenges. Many of these won’t be solved overnight or even during our time in the Legislature. But our calling is greater: to tackle generational challenges, even if we don’t see the solutions come to fruition during our tenure.” 

The Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives is the body’s chief presiding officer and is responsible for committee appointments, the flow of legislation and the management of the House budget and staff. The speaker also serves as an ex-officio voting member on all House committees.  

In Hilbert's eight-year tenure in the House, he has authored over 40 bills that have been signed into law. Oklahoma’s budget is in better shape than it has ever been and the budget negotiation process is more transparent than ever, due in part to Hilbert’s efforts as Vice Chairman of the Appropriations and Budget Committee and his previous leadership positions. 

Hilbert, 30, will be the youngest House speaker in Oklahoma state history and only the second Republican speaker 30 years old or younger in any state since 1873. Hilbert was elected in 2016 to represent House District 29, which contains portions of rural Creek and Tulsa counties. He holds a bachelor's degree in agribusiness and a master’s in business administration from Oklahoma State University, where he also served as Student Government Association President. 

Hilbert and his wife, Alexis, have two daughters, Addison (5) and Dorothy (2). The family lives in Bristow and are members of Foundation Church in Sapulpa. 

The Speaker Pro Tempore is the second-highest ranking officer in the House and assists the Speaker in managing the legislative agenda, guiding bills through the legislative process and coordinating with committees. 

"I am truly grateful for this opportunity given to me by my peers and I am eager to get to work with Speaker Hilbert," said Moore. "Together, we will focus on strengthening our state's economy and addressing the needs of all Oklahomans—whether in schools, on our roads, in hospitals, workplaces, or public service agencies. The best days for Oklahoma are still ahead." 

Moore was elected to the House in 2020. He most recently served as chair of the House Higher Education and Career Tech Committee as well as a member of the Appropriations & Budget Committee, among others. During his time in office, he has voted on legislation to protect life and the Second Amendment, reduce rules and regulations, lower taxes, defend property owners' rights, preserve water resources, and protect girls' sports and parental rights. He's demanded law and order and voted to improve education and teacher pay, among many other conservative causes. 

Moore is a fifth-generation native of Custer County. He's a graduate of Clinton High School and holds a bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Christian University and a law degree from Oklahoma City University. He and his wife, Rachel, and their three children, live in Clinton. 

The 60th legislature will convene on Monday, February 3, 2025, for the first regular session.

Harris Celebrates $10M Investment into UCO Forensic Science Institute

Rep. Erick Harris, R-Edmond, today praised the $10 million appropriation to expand the University of Central Oklahoma's Forensic Science Institute. The funding is included in House Bill 2766 , the Fiscal Year 2026 general appropriations bill, and will be distributed by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE).  "I was proud to have the opportunity to work with my colleagues in the Edmond delegation and our friends at UCO to secure this additional funding," Harris said. "The support of this investment reaffirms what we already know: that the Forensic Science Institute plays a vital role serving our communities, supporting law enforcement and public safety, training Oklahoma's students and advancing the field of study. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this investment will have on the future of justice in Oklahoma and beyond." The UCO FSI, which opened in 2009, trains students for careers in local, state, tribal and federal law enforcement. UCO FSI is home to more than 1,000 students and nine degree programs, including bachelor's degrees in Forensic Investigations, Digital Forensics, Forensic Molecular Biology and Forensic Chemistry. UCO President Todd G. Lamb praised the $10 million appropriation toward FSI. "Without Rep. Erick Harris's leadership and ownership of this project in the House of Representatives, this critical funding to help the University of Central Oklahoma’s Forensic Science Institute meet the workforce demand for expertly trained graduates in this field would not have been realized," Lamb said. "I'm grateful to Rep. Harris, the Edmond delegation and the Oklahoma Legislature for their support. The UCO Forensic Science Institute at the University of Central Oklahoma is a national leader in forensic science education, uniquely positioned to serve and support federal, state and local law enforcement agencies by educating and training outstanding forensic scientists. UCO is now closer to realizing the complete vision for the Forensic Science Institute because of the $10 million in new funding for necessary expansion." The $10 million appropriation will support the expansion of the Evidence Recovery Bay and Chemistry Teaching and Instrumentation Labs. The Evidence Recovery Bay is used in courses like Crime Scene Processing, Crime Scene Photography and Bloodstain Pattern Analysis, but the bay does not have the capacity to meet student demand. Funding will also be used toward a dedicated chemistry teaching and research lab onsite. Currently, FSI is partnered with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to use its chemistry lab facilities as available.

Humphrey Calls for Action in DHS Case

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, the vice chair of the House Public Safety Committee, today sent a letter to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and Department of Human Services Director Jeffrey Cartmell demanding action in a child protection case that is reported to involve the removal of a child from his biological family and placement with a same-sex couple one of whom was alleged to have been arrested twice on child molestation charges. In the letter, Humphrey references an article by an independent media outlet, in which a child was reportedly taken from his mother who is said to have checked herself into rehab while pregnant. "The mother recognized her addictions and took appropriate steps to ensure the safety of her baby, so Child Protective Services should never have been involved," Humphrey said. "The parents complied with all reunification requirements, yet the Department of Human Services illegally withheld their child from his parents." Humphrey also questioned why the department's policy of placing children with close relatives was not followed. He said the father's brother requested to take the child, appearing to be the perfect placement. "He had his own business, a steady income, stable children, and seemed to meet every other conceivable requirement," he wrote. Humphrey said instead the child was placed with a same-sex couple, one of whom reportedly had previously been indicted by a grand jury for sexual contact with a child under 12. Humphrey calls the action by DHS "kidnapping." He said he's reported a similar case of a child taken from a Johnson County couple. Humphrey said he provided a two-hour hearing revealing evidence of the abuse. He's requested a multi-county grand jury based on numerous reports of corruption, but said he's been ignored by DHS and the attorney general. The full letter can be read here .

Oklahoma's Promise Scholarships for Children of Teachers to Take Effect

OKLAHOMA CITY – Children of longtime public school teachers will now qualify for the Oklahoma Promise Scholarship as long as household income is under 700% of the federal poverty level. House Speaker Pro Tempore Anthony Moore, R-Clinton, authored  House Bill 1727 , which expands the scholarship to include children of all educators who are considered in statute as full-time certified teachers who have taught for at least 10 years in Oklahoma public schools. The years do not have to be consecutive or in the same school. The new law becomes effective July 1.  "This legislation has so many positives," Moore said. "It removes financial barriers, allowing more Oklahoma graduates to go onto higher learning at a lessened cost. It will help with recruitment and retention of teachers. It will incentivize teachers who are alternately or emergency certified to become fully certified and will help us keep those teachers in the classroom longer. It also should increase retention of longtime certified teachers, showing them the value we place on their dedication and expertise." Moore said it's known that students of educators become teachers at a higher rate than other students. This could keep them in Oklahoma for college, making it more likely they will stay here to live, work and raise a family, also while increasing volume in our teacher pipeline.  "This builds on the work the Legislature has done the last few years to improve working conditions for Oklahoma teachers, increasing their pay and benefits, and our efforts to improve academic outcomes for students," he said. The Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP), better known as Oklahoma's Promise, allows students who meet certain income, academic and conduct requirements to earn a college or vocational-technology tuition scholarship. It was created in 1992 by the Legislature to help more Oklahoma families send their children to college. The program is administered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. House Bill 1727 was signed into law by the governor on June 10.
