Representative Dobrinsky, who explained the bill on the floor, said the process follows a similar path to existing oil and gas regulation and includes landowner notification, a complaint resolution process and a permit fee based on project size and capacity.

\"The process will allow a similar path to that of oil and gas industry in place for decades now,\" Representative Dobrinsky said during his explanation. He added the measure \"is not designed to be restrictive\" and stressed the inclusion of notification and complaint mechanisms.

Chairman Caldwell Trey moved to strike the title because of a fiscal impact; the motion to strike title was made on the floor and the bill was returned to the calendar for further proceedings. Later in the session the measure advanced and final passage was approved. The House recorded the final tally as 82 yeas, 11 nays and declared the bill passed; the presiding officer said the vote on the bill would be counted as the vote on the emergency.

The measure tasks the Corporation Commission with a rulemaking pathway for new renewable projects; it does not itself set fees or technical standards on the House floor. Lawmakers did not adopt an amendment on the chamber floor to change substantive regulatory language; the bill will proceed to the Senate.","House Bill 2155 creates a procedure for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to promulgate permitting rules for renewable energy facilities, including landowner notification, a complaint resolution process and a permit fee scaled by size and capacity; the House passed the bill 82-11.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6297994,"House adds school resource officers and contract security guards to criminal protections for school employees",483,3564975,4048145,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505767-34df79a6abdef49fbae777d67ea26fca&start=3564&end=4048","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505767-34df79a6abdef49fbae777d67ea26fca/thumbnail_3564975.jpg","/articles/6297994/Oklahoma/House-adds-school-resource-officers-and-contract-security-guards-to-criminal-protections-for-school-employees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297994-a10fb6027956b40180c0dc22f45bbdcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770792474&Signature=JuwikhKR8qBVEsaalnTLVoXVVkXCvuMd4KbbKl3qxYHRPg2IewImKAEGdIsmbXGSIC9uLJt2iFCZT5i4yARKcmRRd-XuR4RMDvC12DTr1KM2PqqWpKgHATUsVba2L9JxxaqDREEkkoCjGgNvmCMKFpxsnBZQXnoJajJI0Tu82ieTPCNcDObBuv9qsvVjVovLJsbaiJii5FM~1JTxusIDAnCxvJIG1ZK2jLmfv0Z758blrc5ng3Htk-jkiHyhnyygNMOnyIkGG5wDKX4V51cEeRWDNvXyc7qvngM7ztyx5a5vTTHqu4psW-oOzE7yBI0ya--THGSeq-Y4CGGgbXOTIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma House on Wednesday passed House Bill 1995 by voice and roll call, adding school resource officers (SROs) and contract security guards to language in state criminal statutes that cover certain offenses against school employees. Representative Turner, the bill's sponsor, said the measure is intended to \"level the playing field\" so SROs and contracted security staff are treated similarly to school employees under the criminal code.

During floor questions lawmakers pressed on whether the bill alters civil liability or contractual responsibilities between school districts and outside agencies. Representative Provenzano asked whether the contracting firms would be exposed to new liability; Representative Turner said the criminal statute change does not address civil liability and that those matters are governed by contract. \"This bill does not talk about that, because I believe that's gonna be a contractual agreement between the school and that entity,\" Turner said on the floor.

Supporters said the bill addresses a gap that left some SROs and contract security excluded from existing criminal classifications applied to school employees. Opponents raised questions about how liability and employment relationships would be handled in practice; sponsors recommended that districts and contracting agencies address civil arrangements in their contracts.

The measure passed by roll call, 96 yeas, 0 nays. The House also declared the bill an emergency measure during the same vote, allowing it to take effect immediately if it clears the Senate and receives the governor's signature.","House Bill 1995 passed unanimously; sponsors said the bill levels protections for SROs and contracted security staff and leaves civil liability and contract terms to schools and contracting agencies.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6297999,"House approves shift to single‑factor sales apportionment for corporate income tax",1102,1173270,2275415,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505767-34df79a6abdef49fbae777d67ea26fca&start=1173&end=2275","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505767-34df79a6abdef49fbae777d67ea26fca/thumbnail_1173270.jpg","/articles/6297999/Oklahoma/House-approves-shift-to-singlefactor-sales-apportionment-for-corporate-income-tax","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297999-f886ffe46a1abe544fa78e103a3c2698/orig.mp4?Expires=1770792474&Signature=hogA9EpV0bf6lz2CkLKbRMS1gE-BHLc0jQ~qgK~tC212GYMhoth2uSomxXXqWyqcGogNWHr~d-Y8d3MoEB-~9b8wzo5HlwQTVd4rnCNo5rCc2gwmYM0ylXL503J5hh9BVl1rpucvtrTT~1yoBZwHFxSkYDZLKXlXwLQAFEi2LRf9kKwbcst0Wi5FG4BtuQgm8iTLaShHBS5aNifF~uCKsGizVzMH2FgTgibd2H4q7Bn9EEsVEYrBzQeLBHQ0YLU7jo~SBlqxUpLj3O0lIc3kUHBu9hr8Njk~17gir~OBjgfnOZzb6HfwQHbfH1B~7aaCjIGUptvbi-MSTr1ZqNVQqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma House on Wednesday passed House Bill 1200, moving the state's corporate income tax from a triple‑factor apportionment to a single‑factor apportionment based on sales. Representative Maynard, the bill's author, moved final passage; the measure passed by roll call, 89 yeas to 6 nays.

Supporters said the change will make Oklahoma more competitive for manufacturing and capital‑intensive facilities and simplify how corporations are taxed. \"When businesses make money, they actually are the ones who invest and create value in our state,\" Representative Maynard said on the House floor. \"All we're saying is we're gonna let businesses keep the money they make.\"

The bill also includes an optional provision for companies with more than $100 million in receipts: those companies may elect to retain the current triple‑factor method instead of switching automatically. During floor debate lawmakers focused on the bill's fiscal effects. Representative Blansett and others pressed for detail on the estimated revenue impact; Representative Maynard and supporters said the greatest known fiscal effect in the fiscal analysis stems from changes to the throwback rule and not from the single‑factor change itself.

The fiscal analysis cited during debate estimated about a $51,000,000 impact for fiscal 2026 and 2027 attributable to the throwback rule portion of the measure; the sponsor and questioners repeatedly noted that the full net fiscal effect of switching some taxpayers to single‑factor apportionment is uncertain. Members asked about how many corporations would be affected by the $100 million threshold; the sponsor said that number was not known on the floor.

Opponents expressed concern about the timing and scale of potential revenue reductions amid other state spending commitments. Representative McCain and others asked whether the Legislature had a plan to offset projected losses and protect services for lower‑income households; proponents argued the change would spur investment and job creation, while opponents cautioned that such outcomes were not guaranteed.

The measure drew a mix of questions and ultimately passed with broad support. The House recorded the final tally as 89 yeas, 6 nays. The bill will now proceed to the Senate for further consideration.","The Oklahoma House on March 5 passed House Bill 1200, which moves the state from a triple‑factor corporate apportionment to a single‑factor method based on sales, with an optional threshold for very large companies. Sponsors said the change aims to encourage capital investment; critics pressed for clearer fiscal estimates.","actionData","errors"]
