2017 Session Overview
2017 SESSION OVERVIEW The 1st Session of the 56th Oklahoma Legislature convened to organize on January 3, 2017 for the purpose of performing its duties as required in Section 5 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution and organizing pursuant to the provisions of Article V of the Oklahoma Constitution. The Legislature reconvened on Monday, February 6, 2017, and adjourned sine die on May 26, 2017, as required in the Oklahoma Constitution. The Senate welcomed thirteen new members: Senators Micheal Bergstrom, Julie Daniels, Tom Dugger, Chris Kidd, James Leewright, Greg McCortney, Joe Newhouse, Lonnie Paxton, Roland Pederson, Dewayne Pemberton, Adam Pugh, Dave Rader and Paul Scott. Two members resigned during the 2017 session, and a third, Senator Dan Newberry, announced his resignation shortly after adjournment. Senator Mike Schulz was elected as President Pro Tempore, and Senator Greg Treat was named Majority Floor Leader. Other officers of the Senate for the 2017 session included Senators Stephanie Bice, Eddie Fields and Bryce Marlatt, Assistant Majority Floor Leaders; Senators Mark Allen, Nathan Dahm, Frank Simpson and Rob Standridge, Majority Whips; Senators Gary Stanislawski and Roger Thompson, Majority Caucus Chair and Vice-Chair; Senator A.J. Griffin, Rural Caucus Chair; and Senator John Sparks, Minority Floor Leader. Senator Kim David was named as the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Legislature considered 2,460 bills and joint resolutions, of which 197 Senate measures and 196 House measures became law. Governor Mary Fallin vetoed 17 measures. One measure referred a state question to the voters for action at the November 2018 election. Since most measures not acted on in the first session of a legislature carry over to the second session, the 2018 session will start with 2,019 measures carried over from the 2017 session. -

Oklahoma House of Representatives Redrawing
OKLAHOMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REDRAWING THE LINES Legislative and Congressional Redistricting In 2021 The Reapportionment and Redistricting Process Federal law requires states to redraw congressional boundaries every 10 years following the federal decennial census. The Oklahoma Constitution requires the Legislature to redraw legislative boundaries every 10 years following the census. It is necessary to reallocate congressional seats and redraw congressional and legislative boundaries to protect the principle of one person, one vote. While they are separate and distinct parts of the same process, reapportionment and redistricting are terms often mistakenly used interchangeably. Reapportionment Reapportionment, which occurs at the federal level, is the process of allocating the 435 seats in the U. S. House of Representatives among the 50 states based on the population of each state. At the conclusion of each census, the U.S. Census Bureau reports the state population totals for all states and the apportionment numbers for each state to the President by December 31. Oklahoma currently has five congressional seats and is predicted to retain five seats. Redistricting Redistricting refers to the process of adjusting, or redrawing, legislative and congressional district boundaries to accommodate the reapportionment as well as the population changes within the state based on the 2020 census. All of Oklahoma’s congressional districts, 48 Senate districts, and 101 House of Representatives districts are redrawn, to equalize representation. The Rules That Govern Redistricting Legislative and congressional redistricting are complex procedures influenced by a variety of factors. The Oklahoma Legislature is strictly bound by legal constraints established by the U. S. Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, Federal and Oklahoma statutes and court decisions. -

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.
