Kate Barnard Day; May 23.

This resolution designates May 23 as "Kate Barnard Day" in Oklahoma to honor the legacy of Kate Barnard, the first woman elected to statewide office in the U.S. (serving as Oklahoma Commissioner of Charities starting in 1907). It commemorates her work advancing justice, equity, and social reforms - including child labor protections, prison system improvements, and securing $1 million for Native American children. The resolution directs copies to the Oklahoma Historical Society, Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women, and Saint Joseph Old Cathedral. As a commemorative resolution, it has no policy changes or direct impact on laws or regulations.
