Administrative Rules REVISED: Link Added May 5th, 2026

Administrative Rules

Bills: HJR1101
Summary: The committee met briefly to consider one item, H.J.R. 1101, a rule related to the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority that had been left out of the Business and Commerce process because it was initially thought to be a major rule. The presenter explained that it was later determined not to be a major rule, but still needed committee action for the rule to take effect. After a motion, second, and no debate, the committee voted unanimously 9-0 to adopt it. After the vote, the chair told members that several additional Senate joint resolutions were still pending and were expected to arrive later that day, with action anticipated the next day or Thursday. He said he would try to keep the process within normal procedure rather than using a rule suspension, and would notify members when the items were ready. The chair also addressed a prior exchange involving the Long-Range Capital Planning Commission, saying he had met with the commission, apologized for using them as an example of agency frustration, and that they had since withdrawn their rules and would work on emergency rules to address the issue. With no further questions, the meeting adjourned.

Aeronautics and Transportation

Summary: The Senate Aeronautics and Transportation Committee met and first laid over House Bills 3148 and 3982. It then heard and advanced several transportation-related measures, including HB 1411, which establishes the True Grit Trail to promote tourism in southeast Oklahoma; HB 2980, which lets tag agencies accept alternate proof of insurance when the online verification system is unavailable; HB 3015, which authorizes Service Oklahoma to issue electronic driver’s licenses; and HB 3147, which creates a Route 66 Centennial specialty license plate. All of those bills were reported out with unanimous or near-unanimous support and no stated fiscal impact in the cases discussed. The committee also advanced HB 3277, allowing vendors to use the National Insurance Crime Bureau for vehicle inspections when Highway Patrol staffing is limited, and HB 3323, which removes notarization requirements for certain electronic documents submitted to Service Oklahoma. HB 3443, which raises oversized and overweight permit fees to help fund weigh stations and reduce pressure on the roads fund, drew questions about prior funding and was estimated by ODOT to generate about $15 million; it advanced on a 9-1 vote. HB 3882, creating a dedicated revolving fund for industrial access and lake access improvement projects, also advanced on a 9-1 vote. Testimony was generally supportive, with authors explaining the bills as administrative efficiencies, tourism promotion, or funding adjustments. ODOT and Service Oklahoma officials answered questions on fiscal impact and implementation, including that the electronic credential system would be integrated with manufacturers like Apple and Google at no state cost. The committee noted it had several more House bills to hear in coming weeks and then adjourned.

Summary: The meeting began with a quorum call and approval of the prior meeting’s minutes. Senator Williams then presented a discussion draft involving KCNA and COOT/Kentucky Wired governance changes. He said the proposal would make the COOT executive director the KCNA director, place the education CIO as chair of a new board of constitutional officers, terminate existing KCNA employees at inception, and return KCNA funds to the general fund. He described the measure as a temporary holding pattern focused on customer connectivity until an audit is completed next summer. Senator West asked whether the bill would change existing Kentucky Wired contracts, and Williams said the contracts would remain in place and COOT would simply handle the work without an extra layer of bureaucracy. No vote was taken; the item was for discussion only. The committee then heard a presentation on geoengineering and related legislation from Rep. John Hodgson, Sen. Rollins, and retired meteorologist Randy Baker. They described geoengineering as attempts to alter climate or weather, including solar radiation modification, stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, and cloud seeding. The presenters distinguished these activities from ordinary jet contrails, crop dusting, ground-level emissions, and airport fog control, and said the proposed Kentucky bill would exclude those ordinary activities. They argued Kentucky lacks a current prohibition on weather modification, said the bill would protect farmland, crops, animal agriculture, aquaculture, and human health, and cited public concern, federal uncertainty, and similar legislation in other states. They also said cloud seeding is used in some western states but remains scientifically unproven and potentially harmful. Members asked about enforcement, federal preemption, and whether other states’ actions could affect Kentucky. The presenters said high-altitude spraying would be difficult to hide, that satellite imagery could detect large releases, and that the bill was intended as an assertion of state sovereignty even if federal law later changed. They also said there were no known active geoengineering projects in Kentucky. The discussion remained informational, with no committee vote or final action taken on either topic.
