March 4, 2022
The State Capitol has been a whirlwind of activity this week as legislators made up for missed work due to last week’s winter storm. While there has been some floor activity in both chambers, most of the work has been in committees working to complete their consideration of bills before this week’s March 3 deadline. Any bill not heard in a committee of their chamber of origin following Thursday’s deadline is now dormant for this legislative session.
 
Measures that received committee approval will begin working for position on the floor calendar in the coming weeks. The deadline for House and Senate members to act on the bills on their respective floors is March 24. Those failing to get a hearing on the respective floor by then also are considered dormant, but their language could be incorporated into other measures. Certain rules apply, though, such as making sure they deal with the same subject.
Professional Development Reform Passes Committee
Legislation to ease excessive professional development requirements for educators passed the House Common Education Committee on Tuesday.
 
House Bill 3506, authored by Rep. Melissa Provenzano, D-Tulsa, exempts a teacher from the “Professional Learning Focus” requirement if that teacher's other federal, state, and local professional development requirements exceed 24 hours in a school year.
Professional Learning Focus is a teacher-driven, self-selected professional development requirement that does benefit educators, but can often overlap and become repetitive of federal, state or local requirements.
 
“Many teachers find themselves regularly completing 24 or more hours of required federal, state, and local professional development in a year,” Provenzano said. “Excessive requirements, while often well-intended, can become time-intensive and cumbersome, pulling teachers away from time better spent preparing for their classes. This exemption can help with that in years that professional development requirements exceed 24 or more hours.”
 
The exemption would provide significant relief for new teachers, many of whom have 40 or more hours in a year dedicated to professional development, and the completion can become burdensome and unnecessarily taxing.
 
“Professional development certainly plays a role in cultivating our teacher corps,” Provenzano said. “Removing duplicity improves the quality of life for our teachers and most importantly, provides more time for students.”
Roberts Bill Protecting Students Passes Committee
Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, today commented on the passage of House Bill 3718 through the House Criminal Justice and Corrections Committee.
 
The bill, authored by Roberts, adds an enforcement clause to last year's legislation banning COVID-19 vaccines mandates, mask mandates and vaccine passports as a condition of admittance to, or attendance at, a state school.
 
"Last year, the Legislature did a great thing by passing legislation so that the children of our state would not be discriminated against at our state-run institutions and schools; unfortunately, there was no enforcement clause in this legislation," Roberts said. "Within the past year, I have received numerous complaints from students who continue to face illegal discrimination from professors and faculty at state-run universities. Many of these students have faced discrimination in grading, or have had to drop entire classes, because some professors continue to willfully violate state law and discriminate against our students for exercising their individual liberty. This legislation will put a stop to that and protect our student's rights."
 
HB 3718 allows a sheriff to have the authority to arrest any person, including, but not limited to, a superintendent, principal, administrator, teacher, school nurse, board member of the education district, university staff or other school staff for requiring a vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of admittance to or attendance of the school or institution; or for requiring a vaccine passport as a condition of admittance or attendance, or for implementing a mask mandate for students who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The measure prohibits any person, including a superintendent, principal, administrator, teacher, school nurse, board member of the education district, university staff or other school staff from requiring a vaccination, vaccine passport or implementing a mask mandate for students who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. Any person who directly or indirectly violates these provisions is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 for the first offense. The penalty for a second offense is a fine of $500, imprisonment for up to 10 days in the county jail or both fine and imprisonment.
 
The bill passed 3-1 in the committee and is now eligible to be heard on the House floor.
Burns Expresses Disappointment After Athlete Transfer Bill Fails to Pass Committee
Rep. Ty Burns, R-Pawnee, expressed his disappointment after his house bill addressing student athlete transfers failed to receive enough votes to pass out of the House Common Education Committee.
 
The bill, HB 3968, would allow a student who transfers to a school district outside of where they currently reside, during the summer break, to maintain their eligibility to participate in sports. Under current rules, students must sit out a year unless granted a hardship waiver by the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA).
The bill would also allow transfer students who are dependents of active uniformed military personal to be exempt from the one- year waiting period. If the student transferred during the academic year, or more than once, their eligibility would be determined by the OSSAA. The bill would not change current recruiting rules and would allow superintendents to remain the deciding factor on whether or not to approve or deny a student's transfer.
 
According to Burns, the bill would create and give parents and kids an alternative to their current situation. It was also presented to help military families that move more frequently.
 
"This bill was created after many constituents came to me with concerns regarding Rule 8 in the OSSAA Manual and Title 70. It was brought to my attention that the OSSAA and their board have become more biased over time, which has hurt our student athletes trying to transfer schools and play sports," Burns said. "Currently, if a student athlete transfers to a school district outside of where they live, that student has to sit out a year before being eligible to participate in their chosen sport. We are taking a whole year of experience away from our children, and that is just wrong."
 
OSSAA Rule 8 discusses establishing and maintaining athletic eligibility. Title 70 in the Oklahoma State Statutes pertains to schools.
 
"As someone who served our country and knows how difficult service can be on military families, it is disappointing that the OSSAA would go to such great lengths to kill a bill that makes life easier for our men and women in service and their families, as well as many other Oklahoma families," Burns said. "This bill did not make it through committee today, but my advocacy for these families and this issue will not stop until the impossible situation they find themselves in is addressed."
Bill targeting school library books about sex passes Oklahoma Senate panel
A bill targeting school library books about sex advanced from a Senate panel Tuesday.
 
The Senate Education Committee passed, by vote of 8-4, a committee substitute for Senate Bill 1142 by Sen. Rob Standridge, R-Norman.
 
The bill would prohibit school libraries from having or promoting “books that make as their primary subject the study of sex, sexual lifestyles, or sexual activity, or books that are of a controversial nature that a reasonable parent or legal guardian would want to know of or approve prior to their child being exposed to it,” according to the measure.
 
A Standridge amendment to remove the word “controversial” did not secure approval. Standridge said he would not move the bill on the floor unless that amendment was passed by the upper chamber.
 
He said the amendment was needed because too many things can fall under “controversial.”
 
The measure would provide a legal course of action for parents who object to a book whose request to remove the book is denied.
 
The committee substitute removed sections of the original bill that contained provisions for firing of personnel and assessing damages of a minimum of $10,000 a day that the book remained on the shelf.
 
Senate Education Committee Chairman Adam Pugh, R-Edmond, voted against the measure, saying he agreed with Standridge’s intent but that local districts and school boards are best suited to deal with the issue.
 
“In addition, I am concerned we will start banning things we do not like,” Pugh said. “That, to me, is a worrisome place to be as a free society.”
 
He also said he was worried that the measure would open up school boards to lawsuits from parents who “just don’t like something.”
 
Standridge said he sees inappropriate things placed in front of children. In addition, parents don’t go into public school libraries while their children are looking at what is on the shelves, he said.
 
He said he was not comfortable having a book on masturbation on a public school library shelf.
 
The bill was not on the panel’s agenda but was brought up under other business.
 
Judicial nominating: In other action, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a measure that would let voters decide whether to dramatically alter how judges are picked.
 
Senate Joint Resolution 43, by Senate President Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, passed by a vote of 8-3.
 
The measure would let voters decide whether to abolish the Judicial Nominating Commission. The commission reviews judicial applications for an opening and forwards three names to the governor for selection.
 
It was created by a vote of the people following an Oklahoma Supreme Court scandal involving bribery decades ago.
 
The measure would require Senate confirmation of the governor’s picks.
 
“This reforms the court system in Oklahoma to more closely reflect the federal system, giving the governor more discretion” on who he or she selects, Treat said.
 
Treat said the Oklahoma Bar Association has historically controlled the process.
 
The Judicial Nominating Commission has 15 members, nine of whom are not lawyers.
 
Senate Minority Leader Kay Floyd, D-Oklahoma City, said the system has not been problematic and that there is no reason to change it now.
Oklahoma House GOP advances new bill to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports
Republican lawmakers in the Oklahoma House are once again pushing to prevent transgender athletes from joining women’s sports teams.
 
On a party-line vote, the House Rules Committee on Thursday passed the “Save Women’s Sports Act” that would block transgender girls and women from competing on female sports teams at public schools or universities.
 
The bill from Rep. Toni Hasenbeck, R-Elgin, is identical to a bill she ran last year that stalled in the Senate.
 
House Bill 4245 says athletic teams designated for “females,” “women” or “girls” shall not be open to “students of the male sex.”
 
It also would require that before each school year, the parent or guardian of a student who competes on a sports team sign an affidavit acknowledging their child’s biological gender at birth. Students age 18 or older would complete the affidavit themselves.
 
Republican lawmakers in more than 20 states have introduced similar bills. At least 10 states have adopted such laws.
 
ACLU of Oklahoma Policy Director Cindy Nguyen said the bill discriminates against transgender students in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the federal Civil Rights Act.
 
“Trans people belong everywhere, including sports,” she said. “They participate in sports for the same reasons other young people do: to challenge themselves, improve fitness, and be part of a team. Excluding trans youth from participation deprives them of opportunities available to their peers and sends the message they are not worthy of a full life.”
 
Saying “biological males,” are naturally stronger, faster and more athletic, Hasenbeck said her bill is intended to give women a level playing field in sports.
 
“We don’t want to create a situation where we are failing to protect our females,” she said. “Girls have a right to excel in their sport and compete for records on a national scale and compete for scholarships and universities.”
 
Without giving specifics, Hasenbeck said “many families” had contacted her and other lawmakers in the past year with concerns about young women having to compete against “biological male” athletes.
 
“Just last week, I had a family contact me and tell me their daughter was competing against a child that was born as a man,” she said.
 
In arguing against the bill, Democrats on the House Rules Committee pointed out the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association adopted a policy on transgender athletes seven years ago. Last year, the OSSAA said it never had to enforce its rules on transgender athletes.
 
No school has requested enforcement of the policy for a male student transitioning to female since it was adopted in 2015, said a spokesman for the OSS
 
When Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, was asked at the end of last year’s session why the upper chamber did not hear the earlier iteration of the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” he said OSSAA and NCAA rules appear adequate in addressing this issue.
 
“I haven’t seen the problem in Oklahoma,” he said. “The anecdotal stories I’ve been told have been about club sports. That’s really the only example that’s been brought to me from Oklahoma. Legislation wouldn’t have any bearing on those private club sports.”
 
Citing data from The Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth, Rep. Mauree Turner, D-Oklahoma City, expressed concern about the mental and emotional toll anti-trans legislation can have on young people. In the committee hearing, Turner said calls to The Trevor Project’s helpline sharply increased when Texas lawmakers advanced anti-LGBTQ legislation.
 
Rep. Mauree Turner, D-Oklahoma City, stands on the south steps of the Oklahoma state Capitol, February 1, 2021.
After HB 4245 passed its first legislative hurdle, Turner, the state’s first nonbinary legislator, expressed confidence that the LGBTQ community and its allies will once again be able to block the bill from becoming law.
 
“Because of the students and the families and the teachers and the administration that called in and helped us stop the bill last year, I have faith that we’ll be able to do it again,” Turner said.
Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall unveils 5 tax relief bills as ‘discussion pieces’
Citing concerns about rising inflation, Oklahoma’s House speaker on Thursday unveiled a package of proposals to cut taxes, issue one-time refunds to taxpayers and increase a tax credit intended for low-income Oklahomans.
 
House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, said he hopes the bills spark a broader conversation about tax relief this year at the state Capitol.
 
“One of the biggest concerns that we have for people in the state of Oklahoma is the impact on families with regard to the inflation that we’re experiencing,” McCall said in an interview.
 
Although McCall is backing five tax reform bills that passed the House Rules Committee Thursday with some bipartisan support, he said adopting all the proposals at once would be too costly for the state.
 
“These are all discussion pieces,” he said.
 
McCall introduced a bill to give a one-time tax rebate of $125 to individual taxpayers and $250 for households. The rebate that would be issued this fall would cost the state an estimated $321 million.
 
The state did something similar in 2005 under Democratic Gov. Brad Henry, although the payments were just $45 for single tax filers and $90 for couples.
 
Oklahoma Legislature has more to spend as revenues rebound
 
With state revenues rebounding after the COVID-19 pandemic, lawmakers have a record $10.5 billion to spend this year with state savings accounts at an all-time high.
 
McCall also introduced legislation to reduce all individual income tax rates by one-quarter of a percentage point, which would drop the state’s highest tax rate — what most residents pay — from 4.75% to 4.5%.
 
That bill, which would result in an estimated $226 million annual decrease in tax collections, would build on personal income tax rate cuts McCall championed last year.
 
McCall also is backing House Bill 4358 from Rep. Jeff Boatman, R-Tulsa, to phase out the state’s 4% corporate income tax by 2030. Although McCall previously faced pushback for trying to phase out the corporate income tax, critics may find a more gradual elimination of the tax more palatable.
 
Bills target Oklahoma grocery sales tax
 
Building off bipartisan momentum to eliminate the state’s 4.5% grocery sales tax, McCall unveiled bills that would temporarily suspend the tax for two years and enhance the state’s grocery sales tax credit for low-income Oklahomans for the same limited timeframe.
 
The current credit is $40 per person, but House Bill 3353 would bump it to $180 annually for single tax filers who earn less than $30,000.
 
Lawmakers say they have no intention of eliminating local grocery taxes, which municipalities depend on to fund their government operations.
 
The temporary measures would give Oklahomans some tax relief while inflation is high, but could be curbed if state revenues drop, McCall said. Because of voter-approved State Question 640, tax increases must be approved by at least three-fourths of both legislative chambers or a vote of the people, neither of which is an easy feat.
 
“These are temporary solutions … that can be adjusted for state revenues in the future based upon what the economy does,” he said.
 
House Minority Leader Emily Virgin, D-Norman, said her bill to phase out the state’s grocery sales tax is more intentional because it focuses on undoing a regressive tax that disproportionately affects low-income families.
 
“We ensure that those who truly need (tax) relief are actually getting it,” she said. “What we’re seeing from the speaker and his caucus is just more giveaways to folks and corporations who don’t need it and who aren’t asking for it.”
 
Tax reform is top of mind for Republican elected officials this year.
 
In his State of the State address, Gov. Kevin Stitt called for the elimination of the state’s grocery tax, and talked about creating a system for the state to issue tax rebates when government revenues are high.
 
Stitt also has talked broadly about reducing over time personal income and corporate income taxes.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt sets special election to replace Sen. Jim Inhofe
Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday ordered that a special election be held this year to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, with the primary and general election dates coinciding with the statewide elections already scheduled.
 
The governor filed a proclamation with the Oklahoma Secretary of State a few days after Inhofe submitted a letter stipulating to his “irrevocable resignation” on Jan. 3, 2023, which is when the current Congress ends.
 
Inhofe, a Republican, still has almost five years left on his term, meaning he must be replaced by a special election. Stitt’s proclamation allows that special election to be conducted while Inhofe is still in office and saves the expense of an election solely for replacing him.
 
Inhofe was first elected in 1994 in a similar situation, when former U.S. Sen. David Boren announced his resignation with more than two years left on his term. Boren continued to serve for several months, allowing for his replacement to be selected during the special election that coincided with the regularly scheduled elections. The same process was used in 2014 when former U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn announced his resignation.
 
Three Republicans have already announced their intent to run to replace Inhofe: U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin, of Westville; former Inhofe chief of staff Luke Holland, whom Inhofe has endorsed; and state Sen. Nathan Dahm, who had previously announced he would run against U.S. Sen. James Lankford this year.
 
Others considering the race are U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern, of Tulsa; former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts; former Oklahoma state House Speaker T.W. Shannon; and Tulsa attorney Gentner Drummond; all are Republicans.
 
Candidate filing for all offices on the ballot this year is set for April 13-15. Primaries are scheduled for June 28, and runoff primaries will be Aug. 23. The general election will be on Nov. 8.
OK Sen. Marty Quinn running for congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Markwayne Mullin
A Republican state senator who has fought wind energy subsidies and wanted to name a stretch of highway after Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will run for the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Markwayne Mullin.
 
Sen. Marty Quinn, 62, of Claremore, said, “Our nation is in desperate need of a conservative revival and I’ll make sure our blueprint for success is put to work on behalf of the American people.”
 
Quinn has been in the state Senate since 2014, and he served four years in the state House before that. He won reelection in 2018 and can’t run again for the seat this year because of term limits.
 
Quinn is the first candidate to announce for the 2nd Congressional District seat, which covers most of rural eastern Oklahoma. Mullin, R-Westville, first won the seat in 2012 and replaced Democrat Dan Boren, who retired.
 
 
Mullin said Saturday he would run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jim Inhofe, who still has nearly five years left on his term. Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday scheduled a special election that will coincide with the elections already scheduled this year.
 
Quinn has been in the insurance industry for nearly 40 years.
 
A member of the Senate leadership, he has sponsored legislation to cancel wind energy incentives that cost the state more than originally estimated. With fellow Republican state Sen. Nathan Dahm, of Broken Arrow, he has sponsored legislation to name a four-mile section of Route 66 after Trump and to create “Make America Great Again” license plates.
Bill to remove state sales tax on groceries advances through second committee
A second legislative committee has passed a bill that would eliminate the state sales tax on groceries, moving it closer to becoming law.
 
Senate Bill 1495, by Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday by a vote of 19-2.
 
The bill had passed the Senate Finance Committee on Feb. 15 by a vote of 12-0 and had to go through the Appropriations Committee before consideration by the full Senate and going on to the House of Representatives.
 
The measure would not affect what taxes cities and counties assess, Treat said.
 
The state rate is 4.5%, and with the loss of that income, the measure would cost the state about $300 million in sales tax revenue when fully implemented.
 
“Tax cuts while federal money is flowing in scares me to death,” said Sen. J.J. Dossett, D-Owasso. “We have done it before and had a hard time after.”
 
Because of State Question 640, which voters approved in 1992, raising taxes in Oklahoma requires either a supermajority in both legislative chambers or a vote of the people. Therefore, increasing taxes when state coffers are running low is a difficult undertaking. But Treat said the bill would provide tax relief to Oklahomans while inflation is at an all-time high. He said people need help purchasing basic necessities.
Senate committee OKs measure to let Oklahomans vote to ban abortion
Oklahoma voters would get to decide a “personhood” measure if a bill passed by a legislative panel on Wednesday is enacted.
 
The Senate Rules Committee passed Senate Joint Resolution 17 by Sen. David Bullard, R-Durant, by a vote of 10-2.
 
The measure would let the people vote to amend the state constitution to say that in Oklahoma, life begins at conception.
 
“Unborn persons have protectable interests in life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry,” the measure says.
 
The measure would ban abortion, except to prevent the death of a pregnant woman. It would apply to all manner of abortions, including those induced by medication. It would categorize the performance of an abortion as the crime of manslaughter.
 
The measure is among several bills filed this session on abortion.

Julius Jones supporters criticize GOP-backed bill to change Pardon and Parole Board powers
A bill that would limit the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board’s ability to recommend clemency for death-row inmates is political retribution after the board recommended and Gov. Kevin Stitt granted mercy for Julius Jones, House Democrats said Wednesday.
 
House Bill 3903 would prevent the Pardon and Parole Board from recommending pardons or parole to the governor for convicts serving death sentences or life without parole.
 
Additionally, it allows for clemency hearings only after an execution date has been set and does not give the board power to hear claims of actual innocence, including cases that produce new evidence.
 
During Wednesday’s House Judiciary Criminal Committee meeting, Rep. John Pfeiffer, R-Orlando, said his bill clarifies the difference in powers between the court system and the Parole Board.
 
According to Pfeiffer, the process of issuing a commutation or parole is separate from the process of determining innocence and guilt, which should be entirely under the purview of a court.
 
“The Pardon and Parole Board is still there to grant relief, but the Pardon and Parole Board is not there to make determinations on guilt or innocence,” Pfeiffer told a packed room at the state Capitol. “When we fail to separate those powers out from the executive agencies and the judicial system, it undermines the whole system of separation of powers.”
 
Rep. John Pfeiffer, R-Orlando, alongside a representative from the Attorney General’s office field questions from Rep. Collin Walke, D-Oklahoma City, who vehemently opposed the legislation.
Julius Jones’ supporters question timing of Pardon and Parole Board bill
 
Others disagreed, saying the change would remove an avenue meant to act as a final failsafe in the justice system. Some also questioned the timing of the bill’s consideration.
 
Will executions continue in Oklahoma? Federal judge to decide after hearing from experts
 
“So why are we doing this? What is the problem? Is it because Julius Jones was not executed? What, what’s the issue here?” asked Rep. Jason Lowe, D-Oklahoma City.
 
The committee passed the bill on a 6-5 vote with House Speaker Pro Tem Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, breaking the tie.
 
“House Bill 3903 makes common-sense changes which protect victims, promote public safety, and preserve the role of the courts while not infringing on the rights of inmates or the constitutional role of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board,” Attorney General John O’Connor said in a news release Tuesday.
 
Members of the Oklahoma Legislative Black Caucus and community leaders address the passage of House Bill 3903 on Wednesday.
The Rev. Derrick Scobey, who advocated for clemency for Jones, said the bill is disheartening.
 
“I used to want to come and be in this very building right here. And I would look in awe at the leadership,” he said. “But with what I saw in there today in that room, it really makes me as a resident of Oklahoma, I want to be like Jed Clampett, and I want to load my family up and move to California away from this godawful state, where the leadership is atrocious.”
 
Following the meeting, the Oklahoma Legislative Black Caucus held a news conference with community members and Jones’ sister. The group denounced the bill as a response to a single incident and an act of retribution.
 
“The bill is a retaliation against Julius Jones, simply because he was not executed November the 18th, 2021,” said his sister, Antoinette Jones. “It is a retaliation against the Pardon and Parole Board who voted not once but twice to recommend life with the possibility of parole to our governor.”
 
Lowe and members of the Black Caucus said the legislation may be unconstitutional based on language that limits new evidence being allowed in reevaluations of death row and life imprisonment cases.
 
“House Bill 3903 is one of the most egregious bills, one of the most damaging bills as it relates to due process, as it relates to justice,” said Assistant Minority Floor Leader and Caucus Chair Regina Goodwin, D-Tulsa.
