\"This HB, 21 15 moves the administration of several, programs from the department of commerce to the department of human services,\" Osborne said, describing prior work and outreach to community action agencies. He said the enacting date was set to July 1, 2026 to provide a longer ramp-up period.

Osborne told the committee the bill is a work in progress and that he is working with stakeholders; he said the title could be struck later if further negotiation is needed before floor action. The chair declared the bill passed by committee and returned the gavel to Chairman Osborne for the record.

The committee did not specify appropriation details during the session; sponsors said they are coordinating with stakeholders and agencies on funding and implementation steps before the measure advances.","House Bill 21-15 was reported passed by the Rules Committee.

Representative Anthony Moore, who presented the measure, said the change would \"remove political party affiliation restrictions\" on appointments and would \"remove the restriction on the ability for members to succeed themselves.\" Moore told the panel the revision also updates language about congressional districts so future changes in the state's number of congressional seats would not force a return to ballot measures.

Representative Fugate asked whether the congressional-district language would apply immediately or reflect older district lines. Moore explained the draft ties appointments to the \"date of appointment,\" so if the state gained a sixth seat, new appointments would reflect the district configuration at the time of appointment.

Committee members recorded a 9-1 vote to report HJR 10-24 as due pass. The measure will next proceed to the House floor for further consideration.","The committee reported HJR 10-24 as due pass after adopting language to remove party-affiliation limits on the Judicial Nominating Commission, permit reappointments subject to a 12-year cap and update references to congressional districts; committee vote 9-1.",{"_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},6297980,"Committee advances bill making maliciously leaving livestock gates a misdemeanor",356,18000,374000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505771-cde2db961ed125dd8a5943ebec9892a2&start=18&end=374","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505771-cde2db961ed125dd8a5943ebec9892a2/thumbnail_18000.jpg","/articles/6297980/Oklahoma/Committee-advances-bill-making-maliciously-leaving-livestock-gates-a-misdemeanor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297980-7cf186083fdbef15ca593e84557f938e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143325&Signature=cfs0j1TOs7vCTqa2LO9wAjsCSLOQ1p4ZFhBoCzqbG7n2a10hv0jvqvHPsuJmHfD9fsMFtCZOul9Go6TEuoQ8zWRXhJx0LjQh3sutWFulDt16SgII7nu0CJ30aYcOTHZJ4vO~bb3tuHrrWOAoLsPVWl3Qvoh1oChjoi8IOoFL2bYgwcBOrpWAE9OkMNZh5IZCbwY2xumERa4GVMh~ZkAT~cA436bc1oe6BIyqhpM0HdxOBSVVpBcTRX6gr4CkMw9LTkBUV7kiOPa1j1fXeZR4izYLo9-xjglqDI~SrLsYbVnYAty2GLbs3ZC03J~tGNhe8ZgDjT07gLCk96ldaTltQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma House Rules Committee on a voice vote advanced House Bill 13-56, a measure that would make maliciously leaving a livestock gate open a misdemeanor punishable by fines and jail time. The committee adopted two amendments to the committee substitute before reporting the bill as due pass by a 9-0 vote.

Representative Harden, the bill presenter, told the committee the measure responds to a pattern of animals escaping from private acreage and posing hazards on public roads. \"So what's happening, especially in my part of the world, is people are coming to a gate, going through an easement, whatever it may be. They go through the gate, they leave it open, gone for a little bit, whatever, a few minutes, and then these these the livestock gets out. Gets out on county roads, gets out on county on state highways. We've had numerous accidents, had a couple of fatalities,\" Harden said.

The bill as presented would treat such conduct as a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 180 days in jail, with sentencing left to the court. Harden described escalating consequences for repeat incidents and said the third incident could be proven with time-stamped trail-cam images.

During consideration the panel adopted an amendment, submitted by Representative Osborne, that changes a line in the draft from \"shall\" to \"may\" for promulgating rules. Representative Harden said the change came at the request of the secretary of agriculture. Representative Fugate sought clarification on the intent, asking, \"I just wanna clarify, this is not just somebody casually leaving a gate over. This is willfully and maliciously leaving a gate open. Is that correct?\" Harden confirmed that the measure targets willful or malicious conduct and that the covered areas are pastures or livestock containment.

Representative Harris offered and the committee accepted a friendly amendment to add the word \"public\" to a sentence stating the law's express intent, so the provision would reference protecting \"farmers, livestock owners, land owners and the public.\" According to the clerk, the committee recorded a 9-0 voice vote and reported the bill out as \"due pass.\"","The Rules Committee advanced House Bill 13-56, which would make maliciously leaving livestock gates open a misdemeanor with fines and possible jail time; committee adopted two amendments and reported the bill as due pass, 9-0.","actionData","errors"]
