OKLAHOMA CITY – A measure to better protect victims of domestic violence from harassment through social media was approved last week in the Senate. Sen. Jessica Garvin, R-Duncan, is the principal Senate author of the measure and said House Bill 1007 is needed to bring victim protection laws in line with new technologies and communication platforms.

“Sadly, domestic violence is all too common in our state, and those who prey on others will use whatever means they can to break down their victims — be it physical, emotional or mental,” Garvin said.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced the first round of technology partners participating in a new initiative for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund - a program that will allow eligible restaurants and other food establishments to access the RRF application or data they need to fill out the application through their trusted point-of-sale service providers.
