Transcript Highlights:
  • Members, this is our omnibus memorial roads and bridges naming bill. I yield for questions.
Bills: HB3147, HB4299, HB4265, HB4266
Keywords: special license plates, Route 66, Oklahoma, funding, community support, memorial, infrastructure, transportation, Toby Keith, road designation, highway, bridge, license plates, Oklahoma State Beekeepers Association, higher education, special interest, vehicle registration
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 on Culture and the Arts heard testimony on HB 9 HD1, which would designate Hawaii as a Purple Heart State, and SB 2723, relating to State Sheriff’s Day. On HB 9 HD1, Takumi Abby of Purple Heart Chapter 483 testified in strong support, saying the bill would recognize the service and sacrifice of combat-wounded veterans and honor Purple Heart recipients and their families. Additional support was noted from the Office of Veterans Services, the Hawaii Military Affairs Council, and CARES, whose representative Angela Melody Young described related veteran-honoring efforts in Honolulu and across Oahu and said the state designation would extend that recognition statewide. Members then moved to decision-making on HB 9 HD1. One member briefly commented on family military service and the importance of remembering Purple Heart recipients. The committee voted to adopt the chair’s recommendation to pass the measure as is, with all members present voting aye. For SB 2723, the chair indicated the committee would further defer the date, while also recommending passage with amendments. The committee voted on the amended version and adopted the chair’s recommendation with no objections or reservations.

Keywords: Call to Order and Roll Call- 00:00:00 Approve Minutes from November 13, 2025- 00:00:55 RiverLink Tolling Operations for Louisville Bridges-Quarterhill Testimony- 00:01:48 Staff Report on Veterans’ Centers- 00:26:45 Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs Response to Staff Report- 0:58:53 Adjournment- 1:18:00, 958, all
Summary: The committee first approved the minutes from the November 13, 2025 meeting and then heard testimony from Quarter Hill, the tolling subcontractor for RiverLink on the Indiana-Kentucky bridge system. Quarter Hill described its role in back-office support and call center operations for the Lincoln, Kennedy, and Lewis and Clark bridges, and said the contract began in 2021 with go-live in September 2023. The company reported that revenue has increased since it took over, customer service response times have improved, and it has been operating at a loss because the contract was based on outdated transaction estimates and did not account for higher-than-expected volume and added support costs. Members questioned Quarter Hill about the role of consultants, the low reported collection rate, and why the company was leaving the contract. Quarter Hill said a single large consulting engineering firm had been hired to help shape the RFP and contract, but argued that consultants and overly detailed requirements can create disputes and hinder efficient service. On collection rates, the company said the reported 85% rate reflects the absence of registration holds and other enforcement tools, and that the remaining unpaid tolls are the hardest to collect. The company also said it had lost significant money on the contract and had reached a change order and termination agreement, while emphasizing that the system itself was functioning well. The committee then received a staff report on Kentucky veterans centers. Staff said quality of care is generally high and staffing has improved, but reported occupancy figures are misleading because they are based on certified beds rather than functional capacity after conversions to single-occupancy rooms and capital projects. The report said actual occupancy is closer to 85% than the commonly reported 56%, and that increasing occupancy would not necessarily increase revenue because the state’s cost of care exceeds reimbursement and private-pay revenue. Recommendations included adopting functional occupancy reporting, continuing the move to single-occupancy rooms, reviewing modernization needs at Thompson Hood, including Eastern Kentucky in planning, and referring the Radcliffe HVAC procurement and installation to the Auditor of Public Accounts and Attorney General for review.
