Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett (R-Shawnee) has introduced Senate Bill 477, a piece of legislation that would deregulate the sale of donkey milk if signed into law.
The bill’s text would amend the Oklahoma and Milk Products Act of 1994, which regulates the production, processing and distribution of milk products to preserve public health, to exclude donkey milk.
Jett did not respond to a Heartland Signal request to comment on why donkey milk is a legislative priority for him in 2025.
Jett, who is the chair of the Oklahoma branch of the far-right Freedom Caucus, has served in the Oklahoma state legislature since 2004 as both a senator and representative (2004-10). Last April, Jett criticized a bill to restrict corporal punishment in Oklahoma schools, citing Proverbs 13:24.

Along with fellow Freedom Caucus members Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin) and Rep. Jim Olsen (R-Roland), Jett publicly supported a proposal by State Superintendent Ryan Walters to have a Bible in all public classrooms.
