Oklahoma Senate

In 2023, according to the Tulsa World, Pugh authored Senate Bill 364, "which would provide up to eight weeks of paid maternity leave for school employees" but the bill was pushed back for subcommittee vote.[4]

In mid-April of 2023, House Floor Leader Jon Echols also steered two other Pugh bills, Senate Bill 519 and Senate Bill 526, through committee. SB 519 "would give charter schools right of first refusal for leasing Commissioners of the Land Office property." This upset rural republicans, and Speaker Pro Tem Kyle Hilbert of Bristow, "had to be tracked down to break a 5-5 tie and keep the bill moving."[5]
