Discussion of legislative activities

Budget / OK Policy: sales tax relief is still alive, fines & fees still alive, income tax (HB3350) still alive, as is the bill that funds SQ781. The passage of
ACLU - Criminalizing loitering / protesting is dead, HJR1002 (sigs in all counties) dead,
OEA - community schools is good, still alive, has traction. Payroll deduction SB634 is being whipped (Gov wants it); SB1579 only affects 9 people in the state
PLAC - bill to move school board elections to other dates still alive, had to suspend the rules to make it happen. Not great.

Table Meeting Notes (4/8/22)

Table Updates
- Very interesting & useful research available in PACE’s Civic Language Perceptions Project dashboard. (Note that the nationwide sample of 5000 skews to the left, so some messaging may not be as useful in OK.)
- Citizen Data’s “American Right Democracy Roadmap” provides deeper insights on Republican voters
- That and additional research are saved in the Research folder in the Google drive
- Reminder: Please complete Annual Table Member Survey
Discussion of legislative activities
1. 3 HJRs to change IP process passed out of Senate Rules cmte.
2. OEA - SB784 (combination of ed commission + AG civil rights). Quietly fighting bills related to association dues.
3. GC - tracking bill about financial literacy and another allowing immigrants to get Drivers licenses (Brooks; seems to be making progress. OK Policy recommends leaning into conservative support messaging points)
4. PLAC - tracking revenue bills (HJR 1047 would freeze property taxes for seniors)
5. OK Policy - supporting SB3333 sales tax relief credit. When talking about tax credits, going to start making an analogy of “how many teachers” it costs. CJR bills - removal of unnecessary youth fees, felony reclassification)
6. LWV - absentee voting bills (HB3364, HB2976, HB2964), some make felony voter re-enfranchisement more complicated, HB3232 trigger bill that moves state elections if federal elections law change
7. MHAOK - SB1337 (managed care) assigned to A&B but laid over, HB3053 would add the option of deferred sentence to first-time drug court graduates (has negative voting implications), SB1136 makes assault & battery of DHS worker a felony, even for youth, working w/ Humphrey on language for HB3294 (relates to SQ780/781) to change
8. RFBO - anti-hunger day had good turnout & engagement, advocating for anti-hunger budget priorities, working on campus hunger pilot program, concerns about tax cut bills.
Legislative Climate & Turnover
- Several legislators not seeking re-election (Known thus far: Bell, Brewer, Bush, Dills, Howard, Leewright, Mize, Taylor). Several of those are in the Tulsa area; lots of reports of primary challenges by the far right

Welcome & Introductions
LFT Updates
1. Reminder: Please complete Annual Table Member Survey
Discussion of legislative activities
1. OEA - some insight on why specific senators voted the way they did on SB1647. Bad library bills still alive. Good stuff still alive: Community Schools bill (T. West) & EAP (Vancuren).
2. ACLU - SB2 (trans student athletes) passed yesterday, headed to Governor. Utah’s gov recently vetoed similar bill, which is encouraging, but Stitt has history of disallowing OSDH from changing gender marker on birth certificate (there is still a bill alive about that, too). Abortion ban bills have all passed w/ emergency; expecting Oklahoma to “go dark” on abortion by May. Large rally being planned for April 5th at State Capitol.
3. MHAOK - SB1337 (McCortney) would create managed care system. HB3249 (Humphrey) requires funding for SQ781.

Welcome & Introductions

LFT Updates
1. Members survey will be sent this afternoon
2. Training from Bolder Advocacy coming soon.
3. VAN has loaded Oklahoma’s 2022 voter list
Discussion of legislative activities
1. OEA: Voucher bill (SB1647) was not heard. Whip count evn split, but Governor is actively whipping votes. Lots of strange bedfellows on this issue (eg homeschoolers, Rep. Hamilton). Polling data. HB3092 is a “less bad” library bill (leave it to local community); may be some wisdom in backing a less bad bill as a way to avoid getting stuck with a very bad one. HB3500 (McEntire) deals with students assaulting staff/teachers, but it deals with adult title of law.
2. Conf of Churches: HB3903 - Changes to power of Pardon & Parole Board. Event Tues 3/15 evening at Tower Theatre w/ faith community. Also still watching conversion therapy.
3. Elections & Voting -
4. MHAOK: SB1381 (Standridge) - makes muncipalities responsible for homeless encampment. Likely to die…but not dead yet. SB3238 (Gann) evictions passed HB3316 - clean slate bill passed committee. HB3297 HB3053 allows for deferred sentence instead of outright dismissal passed nearly unanimously. SB626 requires MH tx providers, when a minor is being released from tx, to inform parent/guardian that they should inform the schools.
5. ACLU: Context of issues like criminal justice reform has expanded among the legislature, including the intersectionality of CJR, mental illness, substance use, trauma, etc. (Which is good news!) Six abortion bills passed yesterday; many have emergency clauses. Similar legislation has been proposed in other states (FL, TN, IA); national-level effort to highlight these bills. SJR37 would ban abortions in OK regardless of the status of Roe v Wade.
Discussion of “funder shift.” Several mentions of how multiple issues are connected by shared root causes and how we can collectively present.
Senate may do some work next week, but sounds like House will not

1. Nonprofit Advocacy Day at the Capitol is Mar 22nd.

Welcome & introductions

LFT updates
1. Members survey coming soon
2. Bill lists created, will likely post to our site this weekend
3. Members-only section live soon as well
Discussion of Legislative updates
1. Appears to be a bit of a shell game going on with moving bills between committees that might not be obvious or expected
2. ACLU
  1. SB1703 - Abortion (Texas copycat law)
  2. HB3240 - likely to be heard 3/2
  3. Concerned about a bill that would “prevent” bullying but could unintentional
  4. Concenred about SB1249 - anti trans bathroom bill
  5. HJR1050 - would put death penalty on ballot,
  6. SB1738 - would modify death penalty procedures & mental health competency of inmate. There are some aspects of that process that are questionsable.
3. OEA
  1. No seroius or funding issues
  2. Treat’s voucher bill
  3. Censorship bills
  4. Governor’s digital wallet bill - was pulled from last year
  5. Something seems to be going on w/ Pugh as committee chair - actions not matching what has been pledged publicly.
4. MHAOK
  1. Funding for SQ781 dollars
  2. SB1442 (Jett) - social emotional learning bill (multiple sources say it wont be heard)
  3. SB1381 (Standridge) about homeless encampments bad in all kinds of ways, notably negative impact on city budgets
  4. HB3240 (also ACLU priority)
  5. HB3238 - evictions bill, very bad
5. Election-related bills
  1. HB3677 - require everyone to re-register - scheduled for 3/1
  2. HB3945 - bans private funding of elections, passed committee
  3. HB3234 - would require 40% turnout to pass, didn’t get a 2nd
  4. Moving school board elections to November may still happen (Treat bill). Complex issue; if packaged with partisanization of nonpartisan races. Need to expand ballot access, perhaps including
  5. Rep. Roberts has 3 bills scheduled for 3/1 (HB3364, HB3365, HB3367 - absentee, restrictions on valid address)
6. OK Policy
  1. Taxpayers for a Better Oklahoma will be spinning up again. Details soon.
7. SB1612 would reconfigure OKDPS by creating new divisions & possibly taking some authority from AG/DAs/etc. (SB1613 is somewhat similar, but much less expansive.)
8. SB1605 & HB3419 would move Motor Vehicles division from Oklahoma Tax Commission to OMES as a new “Service Oklahoma” division. Rumors are that doing so would open the door for tag agents to provide a wider range of state services, essentially privatizing those state services.
9. House Republican Caucus being open about what McCall is saying to them. Maintains that vouchers are dead, but hard to know what the grand bargain might be.
10. Some members are starting to waffle on some of the tax bills & other bills they’ve proposed. May be getting together to identify what can be killed and by whom. Fissures within the majority party starting to emerge.

Announcements
1. Lethal injection trial beginning Mon 2/28, expected to last 3 days. ACLU legal team is attending; they are also working w/ media source to keep tabs on what’s happening.
2. LWVOK advocacy day is Mar 5 from 11a-1p
