Second Session - 2002
OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER

Friday, February 22, 2002
Highlights this Week:
The Governor’s Tax Reform Task Force held their first meeting yesterday. The Co-Chairs of the Task Force are
Don Davis, President of Cameron University, and Howard Barnett, Governor’s Chief of Staff. The membership of the task
force is comprised of citizens and legislators including State Regent John Massey and State Regent Jimmy Harrel. After being
addressed by Speaker of the House, Larry Adair, and President Pro Tempore-Elect, Cal Hobson, the task force was charged
by Governor Frank Keating to create substantial and feasible ideas for the government to work with. For additional information

Senate Appropriations Committee Gets Budget Briefing
(Article by Thomas Larson of GIT, Inc.) The Senate Appropriations Committee met on Tuesday and, in addition to passing more
than 80 bills, received a budget briefing from Senate fiscal staff and Committee Chairman Sen. Enoch Kelly Haney, D-Seminole.
First, on the current fiscal year, the Office of State Finance has projected a budget shortfall to state agencies of around $70 million.
The revenue shortfall is largely due to lower-than-expected revenues from the Gross Production Tax of natural gas, which is
projected to be $236 million below last year's estimate. In addition, three revolving funds for education, two used by the Regents
for Higher Education and one used by common education, will each be $7 million short due to the drop in oil prices.
Next year's forecast is worse, with a projected drop of $350 million for FY 2003. However, with funds from the Rainy Day Fund,
that can be whittled down to an $81 million shortfall.
However, the Legislature has already received over $100 million in supplemental requests for this fiscal year and over $331
million in FY2003 requested budget increases. According to Senate fiscal staff, for next year, the shortfall could be made up by
a 4.4 percent cut to all agencies. If education entities are held harmless, as many in the Legislature and the Governor would like to do,
all other agencies would face a 9.4 percent cut. If educational entities and the Health Care Authority, which administers Oklahoma's
Medicaid program, are held harmless, other agencies would receive an 11.1 percent cut.
Fiscal staff also said that, if Rainy Funds are used to make up a significant portion of the FY 2003 shortfall, it will create a shortfall in
FY 2004. Between the Rainy Day Fund, the Special Cash/Cash Flow Reserve and the Tobacco Settlement Fund, the Legislature has
$349 million at its disposal this year. If that is all used, they will only have $63 million from those sources in FY 2004, a negative
difference of $286 million. However, they said, Oklahoma is not alone. Forty-five states and Washington DC are faced with
in the current fiscal year, and other states may join the list before the year's end. In FY 2003, 37 states and the District of Columbia
face potential shortfalls.
Bills of Interest
·
SB 903 (Williams) would require institutions to provide
written reasons to faculty for adverse employment actions http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB903_int.rtf
In the introduced version, the bill exempted the University of Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State University. However, the
committee amended the bill to exempt all institutions under the A&M Board
of Regents, rather that just Oklahoma State University in paragraph B of
section 1. The bill passed by vote of
14 yes, 1 no. It will next be heard on
the Senate floor.
·
SB 962 (Milacek) Expresses legislative intent that
higher education institutions cease entering into contracts with credit card
issuers and cease to allow issuers to market credit cards on campus http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB962_int.rtf
. The title on the bill was
"stricken" which means it would have to come back to the Senate for a
second vote before final passage. The
bill passed by a vote of 10 yes, 7 no.
·
SB 995 (Morgan), http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB995_int.rtf
would change the name of Connors State College of Agriculture and Applied
Science to Connors State College passed out of the Senate Education Committee.
·
SB 1353 (Williams), modifies language relating to
transfer of certain assets to OSU-Tulsa. http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB1353_int.rtf
passed out of the Senate Education Committee.
·
SB 1358 (Morgan), Increases from $500 to $5,000 the
limit on inventory of institutions comprising The Oklahoma State System of
Higher Education and the University Hospitals. The bill was passed by the Senate Government Operations and
Agency Oversight Committee. http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB1358_int.rtf
·
SB 1317 (Laughlin), which would authorize NWOSU to
establish tuition and fees for students who are not US citizens beginning with
the 2002-2003 school year. http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB1317_int.rtf
. The title was stricken and
there was much debate on the bill. During the debate, Senator Scott Pruitt
expressed his desire to have the bill language restructured to connect directly
to the E-Commerce program, which it currently does not. Senator Owen
Laughlin, the author of bill, stated that this was to be a pilot program
and that if it proved to be successful, then perhaps the
Legislature would consider making this program available to all
state colleges and universities in the future. The Senate
Appropriations Committee voted a do pass on the bill.
·
SB 1446 (Wilcoxson), which was to have been the vehicle
for the Governor's 4x4 legislation, failed in the Senate Appropriations &
Budget Subcommittee on Education
·
SJR 40 (Henry) http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SJR40_int.rtf The lottery bill was voted out of the
Senate Appropriations Committee by a very close margin of 19 Yes to 16
No. As a result, SB 1636 http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02SB/SB1636_int.rtf
was voted out of Committee as a do pass. SB1636 is specific to
educational programs, including higher education and common education, which
would be funded by a lottery. Should SJR 40 be passed on the floor, it
would result in a State Question for Oklahoma voters later this
fall. SB 1636 is contingent upon passage of the State Question.
·
A committee substitute for HB 1440 http://www2.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB1440_cs.rtf was passed by the House Higher Education
Committee on Wednesday. The bill would
repeal the Oklahoma Tuition Scholarship Program (OTSP). The bill comes out of recommendations of the
Task Force on State Scholarship and Student Aid Grant Programs that met during
the interim. The OTSP is a new
scholarship program that is scheduled to become effective for college freshmen
during the 2003-04 academic year. The
OTSP would offer a 2-year tuition scholarship targeted at high achieving
students (at least 26 ACT) with family incomes up to $70,000. The estimated cost of the program is $2.5
million in FY2004 and $4.8 million in FY2005.
In the context of the funding demands for existing scholarship and grant
programs -- OTAG, OHLAP, and Academic Scholars Program -- the Task Force
recommended that the Legislature reconsider implementing the OTSP. The Task Force also concluded that the OTSP
would not be effective toward the goal of increasing the number of college
graduates in Oklahoma. The bill passed
unanimously on a non-recorded voice vote.
·
HB 2045 (Wilt), Exempting full-time college students
from jury duty. http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB2045_int.rtf
was amended and passed out of the House Judiciary committee.
·
HB 2138 (Roach) http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB2138_int.rtf
Stating legislative intent for the Board of Trustees for Oklahoma State
University/Tulsa to develop and implement a technology intern partner program
was passed unanimously on a non-recorded voice vote out of the House Higher
Education Committee on Wednesday.
·
HB 2141 (Toure), which is similar to SB 903, failed to
pass the committee. The bill failed on
a non-recorded voice vote. http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB2141_int.rtf
·
Both HB 2706 and HB 2886 which would amend 70 O.S. 2001,
Section 11-103.6, which relates to high school graduation curriculum
requirements and the modification of certain core curriculum units or sets of
competencies requirements, passed unanimously on a non-recorded voice vote out
of the House Common Education Committee on Monday. Bill text for both bills may be found at the following links: HB
2706 http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB2706_int.rtf and HB 2886 http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/2001-02HB/HB2886_int.rtf
