HB 3052 establishes a standardized statutory framework to ensure timely safety reviews and family notification in cases involving child welfare concerns, helping close gaps that have historically left vulnerable children at risk.
“I am incredibly honored to have been entrusted with carrying this legislation,” said Stewart. “Sir Major’s story is one that no family should ever have to endure, and this bill represents a meaningful step forward in making sure our system responds with urgency, coordination, and accountability when a child’s safety is on the line.”
The legislation reflects a bipartisan commitment to strengthening protections for Oklahoma’s children by aligning statute with best practices already being pursued within agency policy, while ensuring consistency and accountability through law.
“I am deeply grateful for the bipartisan support this bill received,” Stewart added. “This was never about politics, it was about protecting children and supporting families. When we come together around that shared purpose, we can make real, lasting change.”
Stewart also recognized the family of Sir Major White-Bullock for their courage and advocacy.
“This moment belongs to Sir Major’s family. In the face of unimaginable loss, they have shown strength, resilience, and a determination to ensure no other family experiences what they have endured. Their voices have guided this effort every step of the way.”
HB 3052 now advances to the Oklahoma Senate for further consideration.
“I look forward to continuing this work alongside my colleagues in the Senate to ensure this legislation reaches the Governor’s desk,” Stewart said.
