Summary: The Senate convened with roll call, prayer, pledges, and several floor introductions recognizing the Doctor of the Day, Nurse of the Day, and Psychologist of the Day. Members also welcomed the Dover High School boys basketball team, which was honored for winning the Class B-2 state championship and the first basketball title in school history after a 30-2 season; coaches and a team representative briefly thanked the Senate for the recognition. The chamber then considered Senate Resolution 34 honoring the late Harvey Pratt, a longtime OSBI employee, Cheyenne Peace Chief, Marine Corps veteran, and artist known for his forensic work and public memorials. Senator Weaver spoke in support, praised Pratt’s legacy and service, and announced that the new OSBI building at the Chesapeake Complex is planned to be named for him if the family approves. The resolution was adopted unanimously, and members were made coauthors by unanimous consent. The remainder of the session featured multiple gallery introductions for Edmond Day at the Capitol, including Leadership Edmond and several Edmond-area state champions: Edmond Memorial and Edmond North palm squads, Edmond North boys powerlifting, individual wrestling and swimming champions, and Edmond Memorial volleyball champions. Senator Jett also introduced visiting OSU students and TeamPack participants. The only announced action after introductions was a reminder about a gubernatorial debate that evening, followed by adjournment until Tuesday, March 31 at 1:30 p.m.
