Highlights This Week:
Senate
Advances College Savings Tax Deduction: On Tuesday, the Senate passed HB 1896 which would authorize a
state income tax deduction of up to $2,500 for contributions to accounts in the
Oklahoma College Savings Plan. The bill
passed unanimously, on a 45-0 vote. The
bill is expected to go to a joint conference committee that would be
responsible for drafting a final version of the bill. To become law, the bill would have to approved again by both the
House and Senate.
The savings
plan, which now has nearly 2,300 accounts and more than $4.5 million in assets,
is scheduled to announce two new investment options later this month. More information on the Oklahoma College
Savings Plan is available at: http://www.ok4saving.org/
HB 1896 bill text: http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/hb1896_sahb.rtf
Task
Force to Study Career-Technology Certification: On Monday, the Senate sent to the Governor
HB 1914, which creates the Task Force on Career-Technology Professional
Certification. The bill passed the
Senate by a 40-0 vote and is now pending action by the Governor.
The purpose
of the task force is “to study the procedures and standards of professional
certification of career-technology educators and to prepare recommendations for
legislative and other action needed.”
The task force would be comprised of 18 members, including a faculty
member from a teacher education program at a state system institution and the
Chancellor for Higher Education.
