Summary:
The Economic Development, Workforce and Tourism Committee heard a presentation from Tourism Director Amy Blackburn on the Oklahoma Tourism spring 2026 marketing campaign. She described the agency’s new advertising contractor, spending plans split between in-state and out-of-state markets, and campaign themes centered on Route 66, state parks, fishing, Western heritage, and spring travel. She said the campaign’s goal is to increase visitation, bookings, park revenue, and traffic to TravelOK.com, and noted the use of data tools to track marketing performance.
The committee then considered several Senate bills. SB 1307, by Sen. Daniels, would remove language that could bar religious organizations from receiving neutral public benefits or grants; it passed 7-1 after questions about church-state concerns. SB 1425, also by Sen. Daniels, repealed an obsolete healthcare workforce assistance board/program and passed 9-0. SB 1826, by Sen. Reinhart, removed the sunset on the Oklahoma Local Development and Enterprise Zone Incentive Leverage Act; members discussed reporting and oversight, and it passed 7-1.
SB 1365, by Sen. Fricks, was amended to add an emergency clause and to raise from $25,000 to $75,000 the threshold for Tourism Department retail purchases exempt from the Central Purchasing Act, with testimony that it would help stock gift shops and support local vendors; it passed 8-0. SB 1696, by Sen. Coleman, created a Commerce Department grant program to help cities and counties recruit new residents through local incentives advertised on MakeMyMove.com; members raised concerns about sunsets, audits, and overlap with other incentives, and the bill passed 5-3.

Summary:
The committee took up several transportation-related bills. House Bill 2123, as amended, would change an existing statute authorizing the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to build a bridge crossing the Arkansas River between Tulsa and Bixby by removing self-sufficiency language. Representative Tedford said the bridge has been contemplated for decades, that traffic and safety concerns have increased as the area has grown, and that local, state, and federal officials discussed the project and potential funding for connector roads. Members asked about fiscal impact and funding sources; Tedford said there was no appropriations fiscal impact and that local governments and possible federal dollars could help with connector roads. The bill passed 10-1.
House Bill 3757, as amended, would extend the time before the Turnpike Authority’s authorization sunsets, changing the construction deadline from five years to seven years. Representative Wilk said the bill was intended to give the project more time to begin construction. A member raised a question about what happens if bonds are already issued before the deadline, but no answer was provided. The bill passed 7-4.
House Bill 2445, with a PCS adopted, would extend the work of the Route 66 Centennial Commission and continue state efforts tied to the Route 66 centennial beyond the initial celebration period. Representative Hill said the goal was to preserve and build on investments already made along Route 66, including signage and related improvements, and to continue that work for the next 100 years. Members discussed maintenance and ongoing investment in the corridor. The bill passed 10-0. The committee also reported one earlier bill out of committee by a 10-0 vote before moving to HB 2123.
