From the Desk of the Executive Director

This year’s session was not as contentious as last; however, it wasn’t void of political excitement. Governor Stitt aggressively worked with the Legislature to push forward a new direction for Oklahoma. It was hard not to get caught up in the new Governor’s enthusiasm for his job. Unlike years past, the Governor was a frequent visitor to the fourth floor of the Capitol, and it was a welcome change to see all parties working together. Although, the budget process was held up at times as agreements were made, the Legislative and Executive branches did find common ground. From a municipal standpoint the session was a success, even without the passage of public safety districts. That measure is still alive with a strong assurance from Speaker McCall, a former mayor, that the bill will be successful next session. As you will see in this report, OML tracked hundreds of bills with a municipal impact.

The Sine Die is OML’s annual report featuring a legislative wrap-up of the bills that were enacted, defeated and vetoed. You will be able to access the full bill content in this report by clicking on the bill number. Sometimes the most challenging task is working to defeat bad legislation, but with your quick action alerting your legislators, OML was successful in doing just that on several pieces of legislation which are also included in this report. One of the most popular features of the Sine Die report continues to be the section that provides a breakdown by municipal department and the bills that may impact that department.

In an organization the size of the Oklahoma Municipal League, there will often be different views of issues by our members. One of the roles of the Legislative Committee is to direct the League in making decisions on issues and the course of action to take. This brings great weight and importance to this committee. All legislative committee recommendations are forwarded to the OML Board. As the policymakers of the League, the OML board will consider for approval the recommendations from the Legislative Committee. Thanks to our Chair Joan Riley and Vice Chair Jane Abraham as well as every member of the OML Legislative Committee; your tireless efforts and contributions this past session are valuable and much appreciated.

We will continue our efforts to communicate effectively with legislators, mayors, city managers, councilmembers, clerk-treasurers, and all other municipal officials to ensure continued success. It is important to stay in contact with your local legislators during the interim and continue to communicate the municipal message.

Together we provide a strong voice for Oklahoma municipalities. The number one ingredient for success at the legislature and state agencies is a united collective municipal voice. Thank you so much for your efforts to make this another successful legislative session.

Sincerely,

Mike Fina Executive Director

The First Regular Session of the 57 th Legislature convened on Monday, February 4, with newly elected Governor Kevin Stitt giving his first State of the State address. There were 2,815 bills and joint resolutions pre-filed by lawmakers prior to the start of session with that number growing to 2,899 by the end of session. Nearly one out of every four bills filed this session had municipal impacts, creating a tracking list for OML containing nearly 690 bills.

Lawmakers sent more than 530 bills and joint resolutions to Governor Stitt for his consideration. Of those bills, Governor Stitt signed 515 bills, vetoed 16 bills, issued one line-item veto, recalled one bill, and two bills became law without his signature.

Bills Successfully Stopped OML continues to be recognized at the State Capitol as the unified voice of Oklahoma municipal governments in shaping policy and safeguarding local control. Throughout this session, there were numerous bills filed attempting to preempt local control and hinder vital revenue sources including residential building design preemption, oil and gas takings, workers’ compensation for emergency responders, and more. Here are just a few that were successfully stopped:

HB 1032 by Rep. Ryan Martinez (R-Edmond) and Sen. Joe Newhouse (R-Broken Arrow) prohibits county and municipal regulation of residential building design elements.

This bill was sent to conference committee with four conference committee reports filed. OML believed the problems within HB1032 would be best resolved during the interim with the homebuilders requesting this legislation. We shared this message continually with conferees in the House and Senate through the remainder of the legislative session. As a result, this bill died in Conference.

HB 1956 by Rep. Judd Strom (R-Copan) and Sen. Julie Daniels (R-Bartlesville) amends the Oklahoma Inspector Act in various ways. This includes expanding investigation authority and requiring municipalities of more than 10,000 population to provide a list of all building and construction inspectors. This list is to be updated within 30 days of a change in personnel with new fines for violation. New fines are also proposed for inspectors without proper licenses.

This bill passed the House, was amended in the Senate with title stricken, but Senate amendments were never heard on the House floor.

HB 2150 by Rep. John Pfieffer (R-Mulhall) and Sen. Mark Allen (R-Spiro) creates a taking whenever a municipality, county, or political subdivision other than the Corporation Commission adopts or implements an ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, or other form of official policy concerning oil and gas operation as described in the bill. This includes substantially interfering with the use and enjoyment of the mineral estate, imposing or enforcing a limitation that adversely impacts the use and development of minerals, or prohibits access to develop the mineral estate, thereby substantially reducing the fair market value of the mineral estate. This does not apply to any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation or other forms of official policy adopted or implemented prior to December 31, 2014.

OML met several times with the oil and gas industry to discuss our concerns with the language. As a result, a working group was created to address the issues that lead to the creation of this legislation. The working group was comprised of municipal officials from communities with high volumes of drilling

15 © 2019 Oklahoma Municipal League, Inc. activity as well as oil and gas representatives. The working group had tremendously productive meetings in March and April with plans for additional meetings in the interim.

This bill passed in the House, received a do pass recommendation in the Senate Judiciary Committee (title stricken) with a vote of 6 – 5, but it was not heard on the Senate floor.

HB 2271 by Rep. Josh West (R-Grove) and Sen. Jason Smalley (R-Stroud) modifies situations in which mental injury or illness is a compensable workers’ compensation injury to include police officers, firefighters, EMTs or any employee of an emergency service who is likely to be among the first people to arrive at and assist at the scene of an emergency.

This bill passed quickly through the House. OML met with the House and Senate authors to request this bill not move forward until more research is done on the issue. It was agreed by both principal authors that this issue should be studied further in the interim. This bill was assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee but never received a hearing.

HB 2294 by Rep. Harold Wright (R-Weatherford) and Sen. Darcy Jech (R-Kingfisher) imposes a three percent deduction from sales tax collection to compensate the seller or vendor for keeping sales tax records, filing reports, and remitting the tax. This deduction is limited to a maximum of $2,500 per month per sales tax permit. The amount of tax collected over this amount shall be retained by the state as an administrative expense and deposited to the General Revenue Fund. Remote sellers are also eligible for such deductions.

This bill passed in the House but was never heard in the Senate Finance Committee.

SB 260 by Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) and Rep. Lewis Moore (R-Arcadia) prohibits the state or a political subdivision from contracting with any private corporation to use any photo monitoring device to detect any red light violations.

This bill passed in the Senate and received a do pass recommendation in the House Public Safety Committee but was never heard on the House floor.

SB 323 by Sen. Julie Daniels (R-Bartlesville) authorizes compensation to the seller or vendor for remitting sales tax of one percent of the tax due, provided the deduction shall not be allowed with a direct payment permit or if filing of a report or payment of tax is delinquent unless it is due to a natural disaster for which a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration was issued. There is a limitation of $2,500 per month per sales tax permit. The excess as calculated by the one percent over the $2,500 shall be deposited as administrative expenses in the State General Fund. The Tax Commission is authorized for rule-making via deductions and limitations of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement regarding remote sellers/vendors.

This bill failed for lack of a second in the Senate Finance Committee.

SB 729 by Sen. James Leewright (R-Bristow) and Rep. Marcus McEntire (R-Duncan) preempts political subdivisions from in any way touching those businesses and occupations licensed, regulated, and controlled under the supervision of the Department of Consumer Credit. Existing regulation is null and void except for sales tax, construction and building code permits, signage, parking and hours of operation, and health, safety, and general welfare at the physical site where the business is located. The

This bill passed in the Senate; however, at our request it was never heard in the House Business and Commerce Committee.

EFFECTIVE DATE OF BILLS

There are four ways that a bill can go into effect. If the measure has only an emergency clause, it will go into effect upon the Governor’s signature. However, if a bill has an effective date, the new law will go into effect on the date declared in the bill. If there is no effective date or emergency clause included, the law automatically becomes effective 90 days after Sine Die adjournment. If the bill has an effective date and an emergency clause, as do most appropriation measures, it will go into effect on the effective date. If the bill says “not codified,” these sections of law do not require permanent inclusion in state statutes, such as appropriations sections or matters of a limited-time nature.
