Summary:
The House convened, called the roll, and opened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a series of recognitions and presentations. Members honored Vice Admiral Jeff Trusler as Veteran of the Week, recognized the Prague Kolache Festival royalty and candidates, unveiled an artwork for the Capitol’s Hall of Heroes, and introduced the Doctor, Psychologist, and Nurse of the Day, along with the OSBI cold case team.

A major portion of the meeting consisted of farewell remarks from Representatives Mike Osborne and Kevin West. Both reflected on their years of service, thanked family, staff, colleagues, and constituents, and emphasized themes of public service, hard work, conviction, and working across differences. Osborne’s remarks focused on freedom, immigration, service, and doing good in public life, while West stressed standing on principle, listening to others, and choosing courage over convenience.
After the presentations and personal privilege speeches, the House moved into consideration of legislation. Chairman Caldwell presented the joint committee report on Senate Bill 1130, relating to the University Hospitals Authority, saying it would help ensure Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma have one of the world’s leading pediatric cardiology units.

Summary:
The meeting opened with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call establishing a quorum. The committee then approved the prior meeting’s minutes. Members were reminded to silence cell phones, and the chair noted an informational item on capital plan amendments made by state agencies during the latest revision period before moving to university capital plan presentations.
Eastern Kentucky University President David McFaden outlined EKU’s enrollment growth, strong Kentucky student retention, and signature programs in nursing, occupational therapy, criminal justice, education, manufacturing engineering, and aviation. EKU’s main capital priorities were a new health innovation project to support a proposed osteopathic medical program, including a $50 million escrow requirement until accreditation; a collaborative center for health innovation to address outdated health sciences facilities; a $5 million startup request for an air traffic control program; aircraft upgrades for the aviation fleet; and continued asset preservation funding. In response to questions, EKU said roughly 40% of the new health facility would be dedicated to the medical school, with shared simulation space for multiple health programs, and that aviation maintenance needs are currently being met through KCTCS partners but could be expanded if demand grows.
KCTCS representatives then described the system’s scale and capital needs, noting service to 107,000 students, extensive dual credit and workforce training, and a network of 342 buildings across 70 campuses. They said prior legislative support, including $277 million in asset preservation and $90 million released for approved projects, had helped with safety, roofs, energy efficiency, and campus security. Their current priorities include about $30 million for systemwide safety and security upgrades, renovations tied to consolidation and footprint reduction under Senate Joint Resolution 179, and broader asset preservation needs estimated at roughly $300 million to $325 million. Members discussed the need to preserve and expand skilled trades training, and KCTCS said its plan includes construction trades and flexible, multiuse facilities that can adapt to changing workforce needs. No votes were taken beyond approval of the minutes, and the presentations concluded with questions and discussion only.

Summary:
The Senate convened with a quorum, opened with prayer, and handled several floor introductions, including recognition of an intern, visiting FFA members, and later a Sand Springs state championship football team and Murray County visitors. The chamber also laid over Senate Bill 2067 and adopted a unanimous-consent request to bring HCR 1006 directly to calendar.
HCR 1006, which calls on Congress to propose a constitutional amendment giving states more control over campaign and ballot-initiative money, passed by voice vote. Senate Bill 1226, expanding hit-and-run scene-retention requirements to include property damage, passed 47-0. Senate Bill 1239, dealing with transportation-related statutory cleanup and extending a sunset date for structurally deficient bridge funding from 2026 to 2031, was amended twice, advanced, and passed 44-2, then was approved as an emergency measure. Senate Bill 1309, adjusting the amount that may be reserved from the Roads Fund for debt service, advanced and passed 46-0 as an emergency measure.
Later, Senate Bill 2132, increasing a justice surcharge on credit-card point-of-sale transactions from 2% to 3%, passed 28-17; Senator Hall recorded a personal-interest abstention. The Senate then confirmed Daniel LaFortune to the Oklahoma Tax Commission by a 44-1 roll call vote.
