LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
From:
Bryce Fair & Carolyn McCoy
Friday, May 12, 2000
Highlights This Week
Budget Stalemate
Continues as End of Session Nears: Legislative leaders were again unable to
reach agreement this week on final funding decisions for the state budget.
Negotiations
between the House and Senate appear to center around the Senates request for
$40 million in additional funding for higher education and the Houses desire to
spend $36 million in tobacco settlement funds for a new health care initiative
proposed by House Speaker Loyd Benson.
In addition, several hundred non-appropriation bills remain
in joint conference committees.
Few bills have been considered on the
legislative floors the past two weeks, and with only two weeks left in the
session, the short time period could prevent the hearing of many bills.
Senate Committee to
Consider More Nominations Monday: On Monday, May 15, the Senate Education
Committee will meet at 11:00 a.m. in room 534-A at the Capitol to consider the
following eleven executive nominations, which includes six appointments to
