SENATE BILLS
by Rep. John Pfeiffer
Rep. Pfeiffer presents a citation to Courtney Koeppen who served as Nurse of the Day on March 31 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
We’ve entered the part of the legislative session where the House is hearing Senate measures in committee and the same is happening for House measures in the opposite chamber.
In the House, we have until April 9 to pass measures out of initial policy committees and Appropriations and Budget subcommittees. Those that pass will move to oversight committees or full A&B.
