Morgan Comments on Henry Veto of SB 507

“I am pleased that Governor Henry has vetoed Senate Bill 507. The governor has shown great courage in vetoing this bill and proven once again he is the governor for all of the people of our state.

“Senate Bill 507 would have severely limited access to the courts for most Oklahomans, leaving civil justice as a commodity only the wealthy could afford. It would have tipped the scales heavily in favor of large corporations and against working families and royalty owners.

“By vetoing this bill today, Governor Henry has kept the doors of the courthouse open and ensured the availability of justice for all in Oklahoma.”
