One Republican state lawmaker has filed new legislation to address the apparently pressing problem of donkey milk shortages.
Heartland Signal reports that Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett is pushing a new bill to deregulate the sale of donkey milk in his state.
"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," writes Heartland Signal.

The publication questioned why deregulating donkey milk was such an important priority for Jett, although his office has not yet responded to a request for comment.
Jett has long been one of the most colorful members of the Oklahoma state legislature, adds Heartland Signal, as in the past he has railed against proposed laws against corporal punishment by citing Bible verses praising the "rod of discipline."
He has also signed onto MAGA Oklahoma superintendent Ryan Walters's scheme to put Bibles in every single classroom in the state.
