LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
48th Oklahoma Legislature
First Session - 2001
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
From: Bryce Fair &
Carolyn McCoy
Friday, March 16, 2001
Highlights This Week:
Supplemental Funds Remain in Limbo: On Monday, the Senate passed its own version of a supplemental
appropriations bill. However, the bill
suffered the same fate as legislation passed last week by the House of
Representatives. The bill, HB 1524
(different from HB 1564 that passed the House without the emergency clause last
week), contained $66 million in supplemental appropriations. The bill did not include $9 million for the
endowed chairs program. Similar to the
action in the House last week, the Senate vote of 28-18 in favor of the bill
split strictly along party lines, with Democrats in support and Republicans in
opposition. The bill's emergency clause
failed on an identical 28-18 vote; passage of the emergency clause requires a
two-thirds vote (32 votes). Without the
emergency clause, the appropriations in the bill would not be available until
90 days following the end of the legislative session.
By the end of the week, Senate Democrats were considering
the inclusion of supplemental funding items in the “general appropriations”
bill. The Oklahoma Constitution allows
the Legislature to pass one general appropriations bill that provides funding
for all state agencies/entities as long as it does not increase employee
salaries or fund additional employees.
The unique feature of the general appropriations bill is that it does
not need an emergency clause to become effective immediately. Therefore, House and Senate Democrats could
pass the bill without any Republican votes.
The Governor would then have the opportunity to “line-item” veto any
funding items to which he objected.
Below
are some of the related documents:
Senate
Passes Student Grant Program for Private Colleges: On Monday, the Senate passed SB 586, which
would create the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant Program. The program would provide $2,000 state-funded
grants to full-time undergraduate students attending accredited,
not-for-profit, private/independent colleges or universities in Oklahoma. The bill passed by a 28-4 vote. The title of the bill is “stricken” which
means that the bill would have to come back to the Senate for at least one more
vote before final approval. The
estimated cost of the program is about $10 million.
The text of the bill can be
found at: http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/sb586_engr.rtf
Natural Gas Taxes Continue to
Dominate State Revenue: On
Tuesday, the Office of State Finance released its regular monthly report on
state General Revenue collections.
Through the first eight months of the current fiscal year, overall collections
are running about 5.9% ahead of initial estimates. However, if not for the extraordinary natural gas tax
collections, overall collections would actually be almost 1% below
initial estimates. Through February,
natural gas tax revenue is 147%, or $192 million, above expectations. You can view the report at: http://www.state.ok.us/osfdocs/news8-01.html
Legislative Activity Moves Back

Thursday, was the deadline for bills to be passed on the floor of their house
of origin. All bills must now be passed
from committee in the opposite house by Thursday, March 29 (House bills from
Senate committee and vice versa). Next
week we will remove those bills that did not survive yesterday’s floor
deadline.
