“We are people of great faith,” state Rep. Tammy Townley, R-Ardmore, said in a statement. “The Holy Bible is an integral part of numerous faiths and is deeply important to many Oklahomans. Even when we don’t always agree with each other, we always know that we have a foundation higher than politics that we can rely on to remain unshakeable when times are tough.”
Townley, the author of House Bill 3890, used to own a Christian Bible bookstore.
The bill will be available for consideration during Oklahoma’s upcoming legislative session, which begins Feb. 7.
