Highlights This Week:
[Note: We are still reviewing the dozens of bills
passed this last week of the legislative session. We will update any additional items next week. The Governor has until 15 days after the
end of the session (June 8) to act on bills passed the last week of the
session.]
Legislature Finalizes Appropriations: On Thursday this week, the Legislature
finished passing funding bills and adjourned the session one day early. Additional higher education funding was
contained in at least three different bills that are now on the Governor’s
desk.
·
SB 239 provides additional funding of $34 million to
higher education.

·
SB 310 appropriates $78.7 million from the state’s
“Rainy Day Fund”, including $2.7 million for the University of Oklahoma Weather
Center and $2.5 million for the Oklahoma State University/Tulsa campus.
SB 310 text: http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/sb310_ccs.rtf
·
HB 1570 amends the appropriations made in SB 239,
appropriates an additional $600,000, and increases the limits for projects
financed through the State Regents’ master lease program (sections 11-16 of the
bill)
HB 1570 text: http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/hb1570_enr.rtf
Governor Signs Tuition Bill: On Monday, Governor Keating signed SB 596,
an historic tuition bill which authorizes the State Regents to increase tuition
no more than 7% per year over the next five years; nonresident tuition
increases are capped at 9% annually. In
addition, the bill authorizes tuition increases at professional schools not to
exceed 10% annually for residents and 15% annually for nonresidents.

Governor Vetoes Workforce
Investment Act: On Wednesday,
Governor Keating vetoed HB 1388, the Oklahoma Workforce Investment Act. One provision of the bill created local
workforce investment boards that would have included representatives of
community colleges. The Governor gave
the following statement explaining his veto:
“I have vetoed HB 1388 because it inappropriately
limits the flexibility of the Workforce Investment Board and creates confusion
in the Workforce Investment Act arena by duplicating, sometimes with conflicting
provisions, much of the Workforce Investment Act implementation laws.
Unfortunately the legislature chose to include in this bill two provisions
which are important for Oklahoma. The
bill provides for funding for the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology
to administer a statewide offender employment training program and provides for
the extension of the 50 percent reduction in the unemployment tax paid by
employers which is scheduled to terminate at Dec. 31, 2001. I heartily support these final two items and
call on the legislature to readdress these issues as soon as possible.”
