Watt administered the Oath of Office as Speaker.

Speaker Pro Tempore Emeritus Glover handed the gavel to Speaker Benson and the Speaker addressed the House.

Upon unanimous consent request of Representative Cox, the remarks of Speaker Benson were printed in full as follows:

It is with a great deal of humility that I accept the honor of serving this second term as Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives. I am grateful to the entire House for giving me this privilege again and I assure you that the trust you have placed in me is something that I will keep deep in my heart. 8 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

All of us know that no one is elected to any public office without the support of family and friends to help us do the things that we do as public servants. We particularly could not do it without understanding wives and husbands.

So, in addition to my colleagues, I take great pleasure in saying "thank you" to my family, my friends and my constituents for their support.

I would like to introduce my partner of thirty-seven years, the Speaker of our house, Judy, my mother, Altha, our son Brad and his wife Kerry along with our granddaughter, Katie, our son Brent and his wife Cynthia, and our daughter Dawn and her fiance Trent. Another special person here today is my father’s brother, my uncle Jerry, who was more like a brother to me since I was an only child. Also here today is my law partner of thirty-one years and his wife, Howard and Mari McBee. I would also like to acknowledge the friends and family who are here for me today who are in the gallery.

As your Speaker for the past two years, I understand the responsibility that comes with taking the oath of office as Speaker of the House.

That oath represents a promise made to each of you, to all Oklahomans, and future generations, that I will put the interests of Oklahoma first. I assure you that this is something that is important to my family and me. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and the House leadership.

This generation of Oklahomans has a special place in time; we are the generation who will usher in the new millennium. With that honor comes an awesome responsibility to build a strong foundation for the future.

What we are doing in Oklahoma today is proof that we intend to meet the challenges of the 21st century head on. We have a right to be proud. It is obvious when we continue to receive praise from all across America.

For example, our overall state economy has been performing impressively.

* The Corporation for Economic Development has given the Oklahoma economy a grade of "A" in both business vitality and structural diversity.

* According to Creighton University, Oklahoma's economy was the best in mid-America.

More evidence comes from our Department of Commerce. Just last week, it reported that the Blue Chip Job Growth Index Report from Arizona State University ranked Oklahoma among the top states in the nation in job growth.

* Financial World Magazine also took note of our efforts by determining that Oklahoma has the second lowest cost of doing business in all 50 states. 9 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

* Three of our state's largest communities - Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Lawton - are all in the Top 125 cities in job growth. Our communities are helping to lead the way for more jobs and more opportunities for our people.

* Oklahoma's high quality workforce has been recognized by World Trade Magazine when they named both Oklahoma City and Tulsa, indicative of all Oklahoma towns, as two of America's "Top Ten" cities concerning the quality of its workers. When you can have two out of the top ten…That ain’t bad, baby!

* Oklahoma City ranked first as having the least expensive housing market among major metropolitan areas.

In Oklahoma, we encourage and promote home ownership, because we know that home ownership is important. It strengthens families, communities and our economy.

I don’t think that there is any question that when Winston Churchill said, "There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues . . . are created, strengthened and maintained." that he was talking about the Oklahoma we live in today.

One of the things we in the House of Representatives have done in this area has nothing to do with legislation or politics. I am talking about the bipartisan "Campaign for Oklahoma Kids," our effort to aid in child abuse prevention across the state. That is something that we can all be proud of…the fact that we are letting everyone know that child abuse is not going to be tolerated in Oklahoma.

In addition to providing direct financial support for child abuse prevention efforts, the Campaign for Oklahoma Kids has elevated the issue of child abuse prevention to a level that has made many Oklahomans more aware of the problem.

I am particularly proud of the Campaign because it represents each House member's personal commitment to family and is an example of great partnership between the House of Representatives and the business community on behalf of Oklahoma's at-risk children.

A wise person has said that fifty years from now, it won't matter what kind of car we drive, or how much money we have in our bank accounts; but fifty years from now, I guarantee you that the world may be a better place because you were important in the life of a child.

Our commitment to children is also reflected in the fact that we realize that the youngest are who need our help the most. We showed this with the Reading Sufficiency Act, passed in 1997 and refined in 1998.

This law will help us ensure that every Oklahoma child has achieved a third grade reading level by the time he or she completes the third grade. 10 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

The importance of this reform is to ensure our young people get the right start in a future that requires them to be lifelong learners.

Democrats and Republicans alike in the House of Representatives also helped families keep more of their hard earned money by enacting the largest, broad-based tax cut in Oklahoma history. We have been good stewards of our taxpayers dollars.

The package includes tax credits for child care, and college savings plans for young families.

In addition to cutting taxes, we have continued to provide a very high level of services to our citizens. We can do that because we are good stewards of the taxpayers' money, which is evidenced by our zero-based budget effort in the House of Representatives. That plan requires each state agency to justify every dollar they spend.

You cannot be from small town Oklahoma and not realize that one of the most important accomplishments is our infrastructure development program.

Over the next several years, Oklahomans will see improvement in the transportation system in every corner of the state. As one Transportation Department engineer noted right after we approved the program, "For the next several years, the shortest distance between two points in Oklahoma is probably under construction." This is an indication that we are doing something in every corner of the State of Oklahoma.

Due to the conservative, fiscally responsible, common sense approach of House Democrats and Republicans, we are not today burdened with over a billion dollars of debt to finance this program.

Two years ago, elected officials came together in a bipartisan effort to pass a "truth-in-sentencing" law. The concept, which states that criminals should spend at least 85 percent of their sentence behind bars, is sound. The devil, as they say, is in the details.

Responding to public and law enforcement concerns, we knew we had to make changes to the law. When we could not come to a final agreement on how to change it, we made the prudent decision to delay its implementation until July 1, 1999. On this issue, it is far more important to "get it right" than it is to simply "get it done." Again this session, we will work diligently to makeOklahoma's criminal justice system the best it can be.

Clearly, we have a great deal to be proud of. Still, if history has taught us anything, it has taught us that there is no time to rest. As MartinLuther King said, "We must work unceasingly to lift this nation (yes,Oklahoma) to a higher destiny - to a new plateau." 11 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

We are sent here to make a difference, not to create differences. We must not allow our differences to stand in the way of our duties. That is incumbent on us as State Representatives to work hard.

We come from diverse parts of the state and diverse backgrounds, and we are here together for the common good of all Oklahomans. As great as some of our differences are, they are nothing when compared to what binds us together.

When the final gavel falls on this session at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 28, 1999, I want the Oklahoma House of Representatives to lead once again by standing as an example of civility and professionalism. We will be proud that once again we took the lead.

Two years ago, when I stood before you to first accept the office of Speaker, I said I wanted to create working relationships between members of both parties and conduct the people's business in a businesslike and professional manner. You knew that I was serious and I knew that you were serious. We have disagreed at times, but we did it without being disagreeable.

I've had an excellent working relationship with former Republican Leader Larry Ferguson and fully expect to have the same working relationship with the Honorable Fred Morgan.

Now, let us look at some of the challenges and opportunities before us in 1999.

First, we must improve our education system. It seems that everyone has an education plan. Education and economic growth go hand in hand, it is impossible to think of one without the other.

Our best, and most important, investment has always been in our children. For our young people to succeed in the jobs of the 21st century, the three "Rs" - reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic - are not enough. To those traditions, we must add the three "Cs" - computing, critical thinking and the capacity for change. The three “Rs” and the three “Cs” are important.

To that end, we have the opportunity to develop an innovative education reform plan.

An education plan designed to provide incentives, accountability and better prepare students academically for college and a future of economic prosperity.

An education plan that will motivate more students to take and complete a stronger curriculum, emphasizing the skills needed to succeed in college, by offering two years of free tuition at a state university. 12 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

Why such a bold step in reforming education? The answer is simple. We want our children to be competitive in the global marketplace.

In addition, we must address and strengthen the math curriculum for secondary school students. Our goal as responsible parents is to raise the bar of curriculum studies for secondary school students, especially for those young people who plan to attend a university.

We must boost our efforts to graduate more math and science teachers and provide greater financial incentives for those teachers to stay in Oklahoma and teach.

We must also consider strengthening certification standards for math teachers at the middle school level and providing greater incentives for those tougher standards.

Finally, we must consider providing pay bonuses and increased funding to teachers and schools whose students improve on standardized tests.

Having worked on juvenile justice matters for the past several years, one issue is especially important to me: school safety, ensuring that all children can attend school in a safe environment.

Our plan also includes provisions to strengthen our public school system. It provides for parental school choice and totally local-controlled charter schools, but does not include a voucher system that would drain money from public schools.

In the coming century and beyond, people who will succeed are those who spend a lifetime learning. Technology and knowledge are advancing so fast that even the most educated of our citizens will find their skills outdated if they do not continue to learn.

What skills will be required tomorrow, nobody knows. The important thing is to keep acquiring new ones. We are in an environment where education - for life, for everyone - is the key.

We must encourage young people to follow the path of "lifetime learning."

There are two important segments of our industry that are hurting today. Our energy industry is under great stress. I know that our task force has been working on those issues and made recommendations today. We are going to look at those proposals very seriously and as quickly as we possibly can.

We also know that our agriculture sector which is another backbone of the economy of this state, it has always been a backbone and will be a backbone as we move into the twenty-first century, also needs further attention. I know we have some members who are looking at those issues today. We can’t let our energy industry and our agriculture industry fall behind because they are so important to our quality of life in this great state. 13 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

We must exercise caution and prudence when we look at our budget process this year because we already know we are going to have fewer dollars. I think we have done much to ensure that our state’s economy is moving in a positive direction but I think we also know that the international economy and the global economy is filled with uncertainty. Those who invest in the stock market and watch the multi-international corporations reel from what has happened in the far east and the mideast know how fragile our economy is.

I think we have to balance our need to keep the tax burden low on our citizens, as well as the need to provide the vital services our constituents demand and deserve.

It is a challenge we face every year. Working together, we will find a common ground where all Oklahomans enjoy the opportunities of the exciting new millennium.

When the Oklahoma land runs first took place, people from all walks of life gathered at the starting lines in a race to capture their dreams.

Oklahomans today are in a similar race, but this one will not be won with fast horses.

We will win this race with ideas and ingenuity, but the stakes are the same those early pioneers faced. As we chase our dreams, I think it is important that we realize a vision. It is as true today as it was in Biblical times, where in Proverbs it says,"without a vision, the people will perish." We must provide a realistic vision for the future.

This, then, is our charge. Remember that the greatest leaders are pioneers - visionaries with the courage to demand the impossible from themselves and others in order to realize their bold visions. They - and we - must challenge ourselves and all Oklahomans to look beyond the perceived limitations and imagine things as they can be - to take the impossible and not only make it possible, but also make it a reality. We can be difference makers. We can stand at the gap and wait for others to come after us.

With that, my friends, let us get to work. Thank you all for the renewal of the trust you first gave me two years ago.

I promise to do my best as the Speaker of the House, and I ask you to join with me to make Oklahoma the best it can be to work and to raise our families, both for now and for the 21st century.

COMMUNICATION 72 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

The following report was received from the State Board of Equalization and ordered printed in the Journal:

STATE OF OKLAHOMA OFFICE OF STATE FINANCE

December 28, 1998

State Board of Equalization State Capitol Building Oklahoma City, OK 73105

Members of the Board:

The Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, Article X, Section 23, as last amended April 30, 1985, provides in pertinent part:

…Not more than forty-five (45) days or less than thirty-five (35) days prior to the convening of each regular session of the Legislature, the State Board of Equalization shall certify the total amount of revenue which accrued during the last preceding fiscal year to the General Revenue Fund and to each Special Revenue Fund appropriated directly by the Legislature, and further certify amounts available for appropriation which shall be based on a determination, in accordance with the procedure hereinafter provided, of the revenues to be received by the state under the laws in effect at the time such determination is made, for the next ensuing fiscal year, showing separately the revenue to accrue to the credit of each such fund appropriated directly by the Legislature.

Amounts certified as available for appropriation from each fund, as herein before provided shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of an itemized estimate made by the State Board of Equalization, which shall include all sources of revenue to each fund for the next ensuing fiscal year; provided, however, appropriated federal funds shall be certified for the full amount of the estimate. Said estimate shall consider any increase or decline in revenues that would result from predictable changes in the economy…

The following report has been prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth above, and is respectfully, submitted for your consideration.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Tom Daxon Director of State Finance 73 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999 74 First Legislative Day, Tuesday, January 5, 1999

EDUCATION REFORM ACT - HB 1017 Schedule 1-A

Section 41.29a of Title 62 subsection A states: "In order that the Legislature may guarantee that the increased revenue generated as a result of the tax changes contained in this act shall be appropriated to fund the education reforms provided for in this act, the Office of State Finance shall present as part of the official certification process for each fiscal year an estimate of all revenues which shall accrue to the General Revenue Fund as a result of the tax changes contained in this act. The estimate shall show the increased revenue from personal income taxes, corporate income taxes and sales and use taxes as a result of the provisions of this act separately. The estimate shall further account for changes to such revenue which result from growth or decline in said tax sources due to economic circumstances."

The method of determining the percentage of each source attributable to HB 1017 was set by the State Board of Equalization at its April 26, 1990 meeting. The ratios were established originally by dividing the estimate of revenue to be raised as a result of HB 1017 by the total estimate of revenue of each source at the time of passage of HB 1017. These ratios were updated at the February 19, 1991 meeting to reflect the annualization of what were partial year estimates at the April 26, 1990 meeting of the State Board of Equalization.

SB 826 of the Second Regular Session of the Forty-fifth Legislature amended Section 41.29a of Title 62 to require that the Office of Accountability to account for and report monthly revenues which accrue to the Education Reform Revolving Fund. The Education Reform Revolving Fund on June 1, 1996 began receiving revenue attributable to the revenue provisions of HB 1017 rather than these revenues first being apportioned to the General Revenue Fund.
