John Montgomery (R-Lawton) and Rep. Zack Taylor (R-Seminole) was signed by the Governor on Wednesday and went into effect that day. This OML request bill creates the “Municipal Government COVID-19 Emergency Budget Act”. To address municipal budgeting concerns due to COVID-19, the new law allows for a temporary budget not to exceed 6 months in duration. Additionally, it loosens some of the posting and process requirements due to the time constraints facing municipal governments. The following is an overview of the bill: 1 • Municipal governments may adopt a temporary budget if the municipal governing body determines adopting a yearly budget is not in the best interest of the municipal government due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue projections. • The temporary budget would be short term in nature not to exceed 6 months. It would have to meet all posting requirements in the Open Meetings Act. • Municipalities must also give a 5-day notice of the time, date, and place of the meeting where the Tempo- rary Budget will be considered by the Council. • The Act requires the Temporary Budget or a Temporary Budget Summary be available for public inspec- tion for at least 5 days. • The temporary budget may be altered or otherwise amended following standard budgeting procedures. • The process would expire after the current budget cycle and would not be an option for future fiscal years. • At the conclusion of the temporary budget, the municipal government shall adopt a permanent budget for the duration of the fiscal year. • The permanent budget would have to meet all existing notice requirements with the dates moved later in the year. This would include notice of the budget details and of the hearing. If you have additional questions, please contact [email protected]. CATASTROPHIC HEALTH EMERGENCY POWERS ACT STOPPED Thank you to everyone who reached out to their Senator(s) and asked them to vote “NO” on SB 1102 by Sen. Rob Standridge (R-Norman), and Rep. Kevin West (R-Moore). This bill attempted to modify the Catastrophic Health Emergency Powers Act by removing local officials’ authority during a catastrophic health emergency. Municipal voices were heard, and the Senate leadership refused to let the bill be heard on the floor on the last day of session. PUBLIC SAFETY DISTRICTS As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many good bills did not receive a hearing this session. HB 1992, the bill that would create Public Safety Districts, was no exception. Even though we received feedback from 31 of the 47 Senators that they would vote for the bill, leadership ultimately decided it would not make the list of bills to be considered this year. We will continue to work throughout the legislative interim to build support for Public Safety Districts in 2021. SINE DIE REPORT Our legislative team is beginning to work on the Sine Die Report, which is OML’s annual update on the legislation with municipal impact that was enacted and defeated this year. We will email the report and post it to our legis- lative webpage upon its completion 2 BILL SIGNED BY GOVERNOR STITT Section 1 of the bill went into effect on May 21, 2020.

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. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.

As we begin the legislative session, the Chamber’s voice is crucial to the region’s continued success. The decisions made at the State Capitol this year on important topics like education funding, health care and transportation will set the course for our city and state for years to come. The document you have in your hands is a playbook for the important topics our elected officials will debate this year, issues that will impact Oklahoma City’s economy and the success of its companies.
