Governor Kevin Stitt announced a task force to address the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling on tribal jurisdiction on Friday.
The "One Oklahoma" task force will consist of the Governor, top state lawmakers, the attorney general, tribal representatives, and several law enforcement officials.
The task force will develop recommendations for new legislation and uniform cross-deputization requirements.
Governor Stitt signed Executive Order 2023-32 shortly after a dispute over tribal jurisdiction between a Muscogee Creek Lighthorse officer and an Okmulgee County jailer.
The full Executive Order can be found below:
