PHOTO BY JANICE FRANCIS-SMITH Raising minimum wage a low priority for some lawmakers BY STEVE METZER The Journal Record OKLAHOMA CITY – Bills to raise the minimum wage that Oklahoma employers must pay employees may not advance through the House or Senate, according to leaders in the Legislature. Senate Bill 1165, authored by Sen. George Young, D-Oklahoma City, proposes to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.50 per hour. House Bill 2866 by Rep. Daniel Pae, R-Lawton, would raise the wage to $8.65. Neither bill has generated much support among legislative leaders. House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, and state Sen.

    2020 LEGISLATIVE TOOLKIT Oklahoma Primary Care Association OKLAHOMA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS STATEWIDE OVERVIEW 21 health centers in Oklahoma operate 110+ locations across the state WHAT ARE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS? Community health centers (CHCs), also known as Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or health centers, are non-profit health care providers that deliver comprehensive primary health care services to medically underserved communities. To best serve their patients, many health centers offer a one-stop-shop of integrated services under one roof like medical, dental, behavioral, vision, transportation, case management, and more. The health center program provides health care to over 28 million individuals in the United States. Health centers have long been a bipartisan solution to concerns about health care access, quality, and cost. Health centers treat all patients regardless of ability to pay. In Oklahoma, where many families and individuals lack access to primary care, health centers provide much-needed cost-effective and preventive services and save the health care system money by preventing expensive, avoidable emergency department visits and chronic illnesses. Health centers use sliding fee scales based on patients’ income, have after-hours coverage, meet extensive performance and accountability requirements, and are governed by patient-majority boards that reflect the communities they serve. From Afton to Guymon and Hollis to Idabel, community health centers create jobs and save lives in every corner of our state.

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.

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.
