Jan 25, 2010 – Legislative Bill Tracking

• January 01, 1970
  
  

  Posted on Jan. 27, 2010

  The second session of the  52nd  Oklahoma Legislature will convene next week, Monday, February 1st!  In preparation, below is your 2010 initial bill track of filed legislation.  The initial track consists of bills we are tracking that were filed for 2010.  We are still tracking carryover bills from the 2009 session, but I did NOT include them in this initial track. At the end of each week during the legislative session you will receive an updated bill track that will reflect current action on the bills we are monitoring.

  Please thoroughly review the bill track and let me know of any concerns or any additional comments or insight you have about any legislation you see listed.

  In order to take full advantage of the bill track listing, please note the following:

  • At the top of each track is a “legend” showing the progress a bill has made which represents the color-coded bar just beneath the bill number
  • The “bill number” can be clicked on to read the legislation in its entirety, simply click on the bill number, then click on the word “Introduced” to open the bill
  • The name just to the right of the bill number shows the legislation’s author
  • To the right of the bill author, you will see the “bill caption” which provides a brief overview of what the legislation pertains to
  • Underneath the caption you will see the “bill history” and a listing of the last five actions taken as the bill moves through the legislative process
  • Should you see a red “A” beside a bill number it indicates the bill has advanced and action has been taken since the prior week’s bill track

  Should you wish to review any other 2010 legislation filed, in addition to what is provided you in this bill track, you may do so by visiting the Oklahoma Legislative Service Bureau website at http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/.  You might note anything with a bill number of HB 2,273 or higher in the House or SB 1,250 or higher in the Senate, is new legislation filed in 2010.
