LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
From: Bryce Fair & Carolyn McCoy
Friday, April 14, 2000
Highlights This Week
General Appropriations Bill
Passes House: On Wednesday, the House of Representatives
passed HB 2260, the general appropriations bill that provides a base level of
funding for all state agencies. The
bill appropriated $748.6 million for higher education, some $23.5 million less than the current year
funding level. The difference is
primarily due to the fact that higher education received $23.5 million from the
state’s Rainy Day for the current year; the general appropriations bill does
not replace the Rainy Day Funds with other appropriated revenue.
Other issues related to the
general appropriations bill:
·
The bill appropriates to higher education all $36.4
million available from the new Higher Education Capital Fund that receives oil
tax revenue.
·
The bill does not appropriate any of the $36.4 million
currently available in the new Oklahoma Tuition Scholarship Fund.
·
Rep. Bill Settle (D – Muskogee), Chair of the House
Appropriations and Budget Committee, stated that about $228 million still
remains to be allocated by the Legislature (which includes $74 million in the
Rainy Day Fund and the $36.4 million in the Tuition Scholarship fund).
·
All House Republicans voted against the bill which
passed on a 60-38 vote.
The bill is now pending action
on the Senate floor.

Amendment
Would Authorize New Tuition Waiver: A bill considered in the Senate
Human Resources Committee was amended to authorize a college tuition waiver for
children in the custody of the Department of Human Services (DHS). Those eligible for the waiver would have to
be in the custody of DHS for at least nine months between their 16th
and 18th birthdays. The
amendment to HB 2452 states that current high school seniors would be the first
to be eligible for the waiver.

(see section 19)
Student Fee Bill Passes House: A bill to raise the statutory limits on three special student
fees passed the House on Tuesday by a 63-29 vote. SB 1305 increases the following limits:
·
library automation and materials fee – from $1.50 to
$2.25 per semester credit hour
·
student facility fee – from $4.30 to $7.30 per semester
credit hour
·
student health care fee – from $46 to $54 per semester
The bill now heads back to the Senate. If the Senate votes to accept House
amendments to the bill, then the bill will go directly to the Governor,
bypassing the need for a joint conference committee.

Tuition Scholarship Bill Passes
Senate, Heads to Conference: HB 2728, which includes the implementation
of a new Oklahoma Tuition Scholarship Program, passed the Senate Monday on a
vote divided along party lines. The
bill passed 30-13 with all Senate Republicans voting against the bill. The bill is headed for a joint conference
committee where a final version will be drafted.

Campus Security Bill Amended to Address
Teacher/Student Sexual Activity: A bill authorizing higher education
officials to remove persons from college campuses was amended on the House
floor to include a provision related to teachers who engage in sexual activity
with a student. The amendment to SB
1021 was offered by Rep. Bill Graves (R – Oklahoma City) and contains the
following language:
“Upon verified information that a
teacher has had any sexual activity with a student, the chief administrative
officer or anyone designated by the chief administrative officer or the
governing board of the institution of learning shall have the authority and
power to direct the teacher to leave the institution."
A second amendment was added to the bill related to
punishment for soliciting sexual conduct by means of a computer. Following the adoption of the amendments,
the bill passed easily by a 95-0 vote.
