SCOTT ADKINS CONSULTING, INC. Government Affairs and Political Strategies Coalition of Tulsa Area Governments Legislative Report March 26, 2021 Overview Legislature Reaches Spring Break Redistricting Input Deadline Nears The first session of the 58th Oklahoma Legislature concluded its seventh week last Wednesday, symbolizing the halfway point for bills to reach their final fate. The previous two weeks consisted of heavy floor activity as legislators raced to advance bills from their chamber of origin by the March 11 deadline. Last week was very light at the Capitol due to it being spring break for most Oklahoma schools. The cross chamber committee process continues as Senate bills passed off the floor will now be heard in House committees and vice versa. Legislators have until April 8 to advance opposite chamber bills from committee. Public submission of legislative district maps for the ongoing state legislative redistricting process are due by 5pm Sunday, April 4. The public can submit both Senate and House maps by following the redistricting guidelines available at oksenate.gov and okhouse.gov. The Oklahoma Legislature is required to redraw legislative boundaries every ten years after completion of the Census. The legislature is also required to redraw congressional districts with all new boundaries beginning in the 2022 election cycle. Senator Lonnie Paxton (SD 23) and Rep. Ryan Martinez (HD 39) are the chairmen of their respective chambers’ redistricting committees. Coalition Issues 2021 INITIATE 1. Bicycle Safety Improvements – HB 1770 – by Rep.

Senate Journal
1 Senate Journal First Regular Session of the Fifty-eighth Legislature of the State of Oklahoma First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 2021 COMMUNICATION November 23, 2020 The Honorable J. Kevin Stitt Governor, State of Oklahoma 2300 N. Lincoln Boulevard Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Dear Governor Stitt, Over the last six years, it has been my sincere honor to serve and represent the constituents of Senate District 22. I have done my best to be a voice for voters in Piedmont, Yukon, NW Oklahoma City and Edmond, and they believed in me enough to elect me twice to this senate seat. I’m pleased to have been a part of so many positive changes during my tenure. In 2016, voters passed State Question 792, supporting alcohol modernization which opened the door for new businesses and opportunities across Oklahoma, resulting in nearly 5,000 new jobs. With the passage of State Question 788 and the successful enactment of HB 1269, of which I was the Senate author, Oklahoma is working to reduce our mass incarceration rates and the related fiscal and social costs that go with it. I’d be remiss if I did not mention supporting the largest increase in public education funding in the history of our state in 2018 totaling almost half a billion dollars, and the subsequent passage of an additional $120M in 2019 which you championed. But more important than these, are the families who have been impacted by legislation I carried. Two bills in particular, one which standardized investigations following the sudden, unexplained death of infants in Oklahoma, and the second which delayed the release of autopsy reports to the media so next of kin would be given time to process the information contained in the reports, are some of my proudest moments of service.
