  • So Indian Hills Road, it is a mile south of Southwest 34th on I-35 as you're traveling into Norman.
  • Members, this is our omnibus memorial roads and bridges naming bill. I yield for questions.
Summary: The Transportation Committee first announced it would lay over House Bill 3664, then took up several transportation-related measures. House Bill 3147, by Rep. Hilton Brand, would create a voluntary Route 66 centennial license plate to mark the 2026 centennial of Route 66 and support the Oklahoma Route 66 Association; the sponsor said an emergency clause was included so plates could be in production before the celebration. The committee voted 9-0 to pass the bill. The committee then considered House Bill 4299, by Rep. Blair, to rename the interchange at Indian Hills Road and I-35 as the Toby Keith interchange. Members asked for clarification on the location and whether the Keith family had been consulted; the sponsor said the family was ready to move forward and that the effort had been started previously by a former member. The bill passed 8-2. Under oversight, the committee approved a PCS for House Bill 4265, the omnibus memorial roads and bridges naming bill, on a 9-0 vote. It then took up House Bill 4266, the special license plates omnibus bill, where members asked about how funds from out-of-state college and university plates would be handled; the sponsor said the money would stay in Oklahoma through the state system and that no funds would go to out-of-state schools. That bill also passed, 10-0. The chair noted the committee would meet again the following week and members would be told by Friday whether there would be an agenda.

Summary: The committee opened by reviewing hearing procedures and then took up SB 2580, which concerns Hawaii’s film production tax credit and related incentives. Testimony was strongly supportive overall, with witnesses saying the measure would help attract productions, extend the sunset date, include streaming platforms, and strengthen the state’s competitiveness. Several supporters asked for cleanup language on grant administration, tax credit management, local-hire uplifts, and limits on third-party audit requirements for smaller productions. The state film office said the bill was generally strong but suggested clarifying language and noted that DBEDT and DOTAX already provide oversight of the current credit. No vote was taken in the transcript, but the bill drew broad support with a few comments and one opposition noted later in the hearing. The committee then heard SB 2578 SD1, a measure to create a film commission and related grant structure. Testifiers said the proposal would formalize industry input, improve accountability, and help the state compete globally, but they also raised concerns about how a new grant program would interact with the existing tax credit system. The film office said the grant program and tax credit should be separated operationally, that the advisory structure should include industry voices and possibly union representation, and that county film commissioner language may need technical adjustment. A testifier also suggested a Hawaii film museum and related tourism opportunities. The measure was described as having 42 supporters, one opposition, and five comments, with no final action shown. The committee next considered SB 2259, a dementia training measure. Supporters, including the bill’s drafter and the Alzheimer’s Association, described personal caregiving experiences and said free dementia training could help workers and families. Suggested amendments focused on clarifying the relationship between EOA and DBED and allowing retraining every two years because of workforce turnover. DBED said the bill is worthwhile but is not really an economic development initiative, and it should align with existing dementia programs and be easy for businesses to use, preferably online. The committee then moved to SB 3084 SD1, which HTDC said would expand its R&D matching program beyond SBIR to other federal research grants because of uncertainty at the federal level; the transcript ends as testimony begins, with no vote or final action recorded.
