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.
