Late last month, the House Public Health Committee voted in favor of a bill that prohibits the forced implantation of a microchip in humans and authorizes the Department of Health to impose a maximum fine of $10,000 against violators.
Apparently there is a rash of these dastardly deeds going on in east Tulsa and Sen. Brian Crain and Rep. Sue Tibbs, both Tulsa Republicans, want to stamp out the practice before it becomes widespread. Tibbs claims the microchip currently being used transmits signals via radio waves and is referred to as a radio frequency (RF) ID. While the bill does not prevent parents from implanting their young children, said Tibbs, she would urge caution in future use of the microchip. It could be a wonderful tool in the right hands but it could be a terrible tool in the wrong hands, she said.
Rep. Tibbs, a 73 year-old grandmother, apparently is an expert on microchip technology and the inherent dangers its use could bring to Oklahomans.
The House also voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill.
