Summary:
The committee first laid over Senate Bill 1268, then heard a series of bills, many of them request bills from state agencies.

Senate Bill 1916 would move the Office of Receivership under the Oklahoma Insurance Department, and it passed 9-5. Senate Bill 1525, a Tourism and Recreation Department request bill, would allow contracts up to $75,000 for the statewide tourism conference and permit fees to help cover costs; it passed 9-5. Senate Bill 1491 would require a replacement presidential elector to take the same oath as other electors, and it passed 10-4.

Senate Bill 2118 would let sheriffs use abandoned surplus funds from commissary accounts for sheriff expenses, and it passed 13-0. Senate Bill 1884 would give statewide teacher associations equal access to teachers and clarify opt-out language for payroll deductions or bank drafts; members debated whether it limited local control and vendor access, and it passed narrowly 8-7. Later, Senate Bill 1265, extending the deadline for municipalities to publish ordinances from 15 to 30 days, passed 8-0, and Senate Bill 2154, requiring cities to notify lienholders as well as property owners about outstanding maintenance balances, passed 13-0. Senate Bill 2174, as amended, recreated the Fire Marshal Commission and changed some membership slots to include representatives of firefighters, the restaurant industry, and business owners; it passed 15-0. Finally, Senate Bill 1775, described as a local-control measure related to speed traps and costs in rural areas, passed 16-0.

Summary:
The Senate convened with a quorum, received a prayer and pledge, adopted the journal, and heard messages from the House reporting final passage of several Senate bills and concurrence in SCR 86 and 87. The chamber also observed personal privileges honoring the lives of Edith K. Kirkpatrick and Susan Ann Traylor Bidick, with family members present and a moment of silence held for Bidick. The House later refused concurrence on Senate amendments to HB 42 and HB 159.
The Senate then took up a series of resolutions, most of which were adopted without objection. These included studies on energy infrastructure and modernization (SR 174, amended to add an alternative energy industry representative and a consumer advocate), breast pump Medicaid reimbursement (SR 175), digital student IDs (SR 176), lethality assessment protocols in domestic violence cases (SR 177), problem gambling prevention (SR 178), community water system grading (SR 179), condolences for Sharon Courtney (SR 180), and expansion of the Louisiana Tumor Registry (SR 181). The chamber also adopted SCR 85 honoring the Sam Houston High School Broncos baseball team after a recorded vote of 36 yeas and 8 nays.
On bills returned from the House, HB 1222 on grocery initiative grants failed on final passage by a vote of 18 yeas and 19 nays. SB 312 had House amendments rejected, SB 348 and SB 485 had House amendments concurred in, and SB 121 on congressional redistricting was the subject of extensive debate over racial gerrymandering, district configuration, and expected litigation before the Senate concurred in the House amendments by 28 yeas and 10 nays. The Senate also concurred in several House concurrent resolutions, including studies or reports on flooded corn and migratory waterfowl, deer hunting with dogs in Kisatchie National Forest, support for a Senator Kennedy letter to the Fish and Wildlife Service, boating safety reporting, and subsurface data review.
Finally, HB 944 creating a Women’s Health Consortium within the Department of Health was amended to address funding concerns and convert it into a more task-force-like structure, then passed 37-0 with nine coauthors. The Senate then recessed until 1:30 p.m. to continue work, including conference committee reports.
