"This was the most transparent budget process in state history, and that is something to be proud of," said Governor Stitt. "Every Oklahoman had the opportunity to have a front row seat to the negotiations that took place and to see how their tax dollars were spent. The state has taken a step forward today, but our work is unfinished. I will continue to fight for more tax cuts and keeping a lid on the growth in government in Oklahoma."

The Governor laid out several budget-related objectives leading up to and during this most recently concluded legislative session related to the budget:

- Deliver on tax relief for all Oklahomans;

- Enhanced budget transparency;

- Ensure that recurring expenditures were in line with recurring revenues; and

- Make targeted, strategic one-time investments while preserving Oklahoma’s savings levels near $5 billion.

Through partnership, cooperation, and negotiation among the Governor, the Speaker and the Pro Tem, each of these objectives were met yielding a successful result for Oklahoma.

Governor Stitt added, "As Speaker McCall and Pro Tem Treat wrap up their final year in office, I want to commend them on their efforts to leave a legacy of transparency. I look forward to working with their successors and expanding on those relationships and the progress made this year."

The FY 2025 budget authorized $12.47 billion in state spending.
