June 15, 2010 – Legislative Bill Tracking
-
January 01, 1970
Below is your final bill track and legislative week in review for the 2nd session of the 52nd Oklahoma Legislature, which includes all actions by Governor Henry.
Please note this track includes all tracked bills from the past two sessions as a final review of dead legislation and bills signed into law.
Governor Completes Legislative Action
In his final round of action on pending legislation, Gov. Brad Henry on Friday (6/11) signed 43 pieces of legislation and vetoed 22 separate bills, including a measure that would have created an energy stabilization fund to reduce the volatility of state revenue collections.Henry, who is completing his second and final term in office, said he supported the fund’s concept, but that in the last-minute rush of the 2010 legislative session, the bill contained “numerous technical errors.”
Among the other bills vetoed by Henry was a proposal to consolidate the Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Insurance Board and the Oklahoma Employees Benefits Council and make other changes to the state’s health insurance plan for state employees. Henry criticized lawmakers for unveiling such a major policy shift in the legislative session’s final days.
Henry vetoed another bill that would have restricted lottery advertisements, and three other measures to transfer money from a special fund at the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics to various state agencies.
Henry signed 43 bills into law Friday, including a measure that allows local school districts to roll back several initiatives aimed at improving public education across Oklahoma, such as required professional development for teachers. The bill also suspends for two years new applications for a state program that offers a $5,000 annual stipend for teachers who attain National Board certification.
Henry vetoed 40 of the 522 measures sent to his office for consideration this year. Three of those vetoes – all abortion-related bills – were overridden.
