It is good to be in one another’s company and I hope you’ll join me in welcoming our newest members, partners, and spon- sors as OPHA continues to diversify and grow. An organization’s lifeblood is its membership, the good people and exceptional professionals who give freely of their time and talent to ensure the success of an association. Together, we are Oklahoma Public Health and we serve our great state through a long list of agencies and organizations. Our job descriptions and titles are diverse, but our long-term goals are the same: Improving the health of Oklahomans. Our conference theme, People & Policy: The Power to Improve Health reminds us that policy – all policy – impacts public health (and quality of life) at every level. OPHA membership is diversifying – as we should be! We are unable to serve our populations in silos; long gone are the days when we refer to people and organizations as “non-traditional public health partners.” Our partners in supporting and improving the health of our state are an important list of people and agencies spanning all levels of government, tribal nations, education, business, and the like. When we work together to support thoughtful and intentional policy with health in mind, we improve our state’s health rankings and the quality of life for our citizens. Our Conference Plan- ning Committee, under the exceptional direction of Marisa New, has worked diligently to bring you a variety of experts on policy at all levels. It is our hope that this conference highlights the role policy plays in health while the additional training op- portunity promotes sound policy decisions for our state. Additionally, collaboration among broad partners allows us to tackle problems with new perspectives and with a variety of solutions at our fi ngertips. Thank you for all that you do for public health and Oklahoma. It has been a privilege to serve as OPHA President and I am thankful for the opportunity. OPHA continues to grow and diversify and needs your help in maintaining momentum. I invite you to become involved in your association and assure its continued relevancy and importance in the broad fi eld of Oklahoma public health.

    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.

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.

  • Oklahoma's Elected Officials
    Oklahoma’s Elected Officials The Oklahoma State Senate There are 48 members in the Oklahoma State Senate. By law, the Lieutenant Governor is president of the Senate, but the role is limited to presiding over special sessions and casting the deciding vote in case of a tie. The law also provides that the Senate will elect a President Pro Tempore, while the House of Representatives elects a Speaker of the House. State senators serve staggered four-year terms. Senators in odd-numbered districts were elected in 2012. Those in even-numbered districts will be elected in 2014. Legislators are paid $38,400 annually, along with certain necessary expenses. The President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives are paid an additional $17,932 annually, and the majority floor leaders and the minority floor leaders of each House are paid an additional $12,364 per year. The Senate occupies the third, fourth and fifth floors on the east side of the rotunda in the state Capitol. Joint sessions are held in the House Chambers. The Senate Chambers are located on the fourth floor, with the visitors' gallery on the fifth floor. President Pro Tempore Senator Brian Bingman District 12 Bingman was born on December 9, 1953, in Tulsa, OK. He received a BBA in Petroleum Land Management from the University of Oklahoma in 1976. He and his wife Paula, have three children, Annie, Blake and Rebecca. He is currently employed by Uplands Resources Inc. in Tulsa as Vice-President of Land and Operations.

With the block on group gatherings and social distancing required, faculty and students are moving their classes online. However, many families don’t have access to high-speed internet, and if they do, they may only have one computer that has to be shared between the parents working from home and the kids. In order to address these issues, internet service providers throughout the country have signed the Keep Americans Connected Pledge. This pledge has providers agreeing to not terminate services due to inabilities to pay the bills due to the coronavirus pandemic; waiving late fees due to the pandemic; and opening Wi-Fi hotspots to Americans in need.
