Kris Steele, the incoming Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, is asking fellow Republicans "to focus on key issues and not get distracted filing measures that could be considered frivolous" and to prioritize economic issues "rather than legislators squabbling over immigration, weapons or social issues."
Presumably, this measure introduced by Rep. Sally Kern is exactly the sort of thing Steele doesn't want to see:
A bill that would have allowed people with religious concerns to refuse high-resolution driver's license photos died in a House committee. The bill's author, Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, expressed concern that the higher resolution pictures could be included in a national database. She said the Bible's Book of Revelation mentions “a one-world government and everybody will be enrolled into a system and have to have a certain mark in order to buy, sell and trade.”
