Summary: The Public Safety Committee first considered several gubernatorial nominations. Brent Black of Bixby was renominated to the Forensic Review Board, with Senator Guthrie noting the board’s seven-member makeup and the need for mental health professionals; the nomination was advanced 8-0. Lou Ann Moody of Henrietta was then presented for the Forensic Review Board. Moody described her long legal career, her work as city attorney and in juvenile/dependency matters, and her decision to avoid criminal defense work to avoid ethical conflicts. Members asked about the board’s caseload and meeting schedule, and the nomination was advanced 8-0. The committee also heard the nomination of a retired Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer, Mr. McCoy, to the OSBI Commission. He emphasized his decades of law enforcement and emergency-management experience, and the nomination was advanced 8-0. The committee then took up House Bill 3045, with an amendment offered by Senator Reinhart. The amendment would allow certain fire departments, rural fire districts, and fire protection districts in municipalities under 200,000 population to recover accident response fees, while preventing those fees from going into general revenue or funding non-fire services. Reinhart explained the bill was intended to address fire departments’ ability to recover costs while limiting the impact on the state’s two largest cities. Senator Brooks questioned why the exemption would apply only to the largest municipalities, and Reinhart responded that Tulsa and Oklahoma City would see the greatest fiscal impact and that rural departments lacked comparable revenue sources. Senator Murdoch raised a point that the bill had an unescorted fiscal impact on municipalities and asked for a ruling under the Municipal Fiscal Impact Act. The chair took the matter under advisement and, at the sponsor’s request, laid the bill over rather than proceeding further. The meeting concluded with members offering extended personal remarks thanking the chair and vice chair for their leadership and service, and the chair adjourned the committee.

Summary: The Senate Corrections and Public Safety Committee met in hybrid format but did not have a quorum, so it held approval of the May 13 and June 10 minutes. The committee heard House Bill 351, sponsored by Senator Brown, which would update Delaware law on vehicle security circumvention devices. The bill would criminalize the manufacture, sale, transfer, or possession of devices used to bypass keyless entry and push-to-start vehicle security systems, while exempting certified users such as locksmiths, mechanics, dealerships, repossession agents, and law enforcement. Senator Brown said the measure is intended to address modern vehicle theft methods and increase penalties for first and repeat offenses. Testimony in support came from Howard Handler of the National Insurance Crime Bureau and Sergeant Mike Ripple of the Delaware State Police. Handler said Delaware has seen more than 1,600 vehicle thefts in 2025 and that organized theft rings increasingly use key programming and relay devices, often in under a minute. Ripple said the devices are easily purchased online, are being used in Delaware and nearby states, and have contributed to a sharp rise in auto thefts, especially involving certain makes such as Jeeps, Hondas, and Toyotas. Committee members asked about enforcement, online sales restrictions, and whether similar laws in other states have been effective; witnesses said the technology is new and that comparable laws have been enacted in states such as New Jersey and Michigan, though no effectiveness data was available. During public comment, Robert Overmiller spoke in favor of the bill, saying criminals will always find ways to exploit new technology. Several committee members indicated support for the measure, but no vote was taken because the committee lacked a quorum. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn.
