Oklahoma Policy Institute has released its 2010 Oklahoma Legislative and Budget Process Overview. Anyone with an interest in state politics should download the overview for basic reference information.

It includes detailed descriptions of the legislative and executive branches of government and explains how bills are passed.  OK Policy, a think tank based in Tulsa, should be commended for compiling the information. It's an invaluable document.

Thanks, Kurt

I appreciate that someone finally pointed out where the 'average citizen' could find and read legislation pending in our state.

http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/TextOfMeasures/TextOfMeasures.aspx



Training class
Also it would be good to note that a training class is available to learn how to use the OK legislature's online access. Their last class for now is tomorrow, January 27th, at 1 pm in room 419A at the Capitol. I plan to be there. They won't have another one until the next recess.
