LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
48th Oklahoma Legislature
First Session - 2001
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
From: Bryce Fair &
Carolyn McCoy
Friday, April 20, 2001
Highlights This Week:
House Passes Tuition Bill: On Thursday, the Oklahoma House of
Representatives passed a bill authorizing the State Regents’ to increase
resident tuition by no more than 7% annually over the next five years. The bill, SB 596, passed on a bipartisan
vote of 70-28. The “yes” votes included
37 Democrats and 33 Republicans while the “no” votes included 15 Democrats and
13 Republicans.
The bill would also authorize
maximum annual increases of 9% for nonresident tuition, 10% for resident
tuition at professional schools (law, medicine, dental, veterinary medicine,
etc.), and 15% for nonresident professional school tuition.
Note: As passed by the House on Thursday, the text of SB 596 contains a
drafting error that may likely require correction. The error relates to how the percentage increase limits are
calculated. At least two options are
available to the Legislature to address the issue. One is for the Senate pass SB 596 and send it on to the
Governor. Then a separate “trailer”
bill could be passed to correct the problem.
Another option is for the Senate to reject the House version of the
bill, send the bill a conference committee where the corrections would be made,
and the bill then be submitted to one more vote in both the House and Senate.
