Check your link. It points to a bill that names a new state gemstone.
​
STATE OF OKLAHOMA
​
1st Session of the 50th Legislature (2005)
​
SENATE BILL 4 By: Wilcoxson
​
AS INTRODUCED
​
An Act relating to definitions and general provisions; making the selenite crystal the official state gem; providing for codification; and declaring an emergency.
​
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
​
SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 98.8 of Title 25, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:

​
but it is certainly as funny as Creationism. I love Section 2. ROTFLMAO.
​
I feel safer already.

Re: better link
I saw that. But the Section 2 of the existing link was simply too good not to comment on.

No problem.I just found it amazing that a bill defining the State Gem could be put through as a matter of National Safety and Homeland Defense.
​
That is a frightning example of the quality of folk we have making decisions that effect us all. Very sad.
