OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Governor Kevin Stitt says he is offering the Cherokee Nation an extension on their current car tag compact. Officials say in a letter sent to Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Gov. Stitt offers a one-year extension to their car tag compact, which is set to expire on August 16, 2023. Stitt has previously mentioned the reason he doesn’t agree with the tribes’ compact agreement in general because he says the term ‘Indian Country’ is being redefined unfairly. The compact extension includes updated language for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and PlatePay to make sure all drivers on toll roads are paying properly, officials say.
