20/41

POLICY PATH

Committee Hearing

Bills are considered by committees only if put on theagenda by the chair.

Committee hearings may offer opportunities for supporters

and opponents of legislation to have their voices heard

about the issue.

Bills can be changed through amendments. A substantial

change to a bill is rewritten as a Committee Substitute.

Bills are reported from committee with recommendations

If the bill is not heard or it fails to receive a simple majority vote, it

is said to die in committee (or report progress).

If the bill received a do pass motion and secured a majority vote

of the committee members, the bill is printed and placed on the

general order for consideration by the full body of the chamber.

Bills assigned to the Appropriations Committee must be

approved by the subcommittee and the full committee

before advancing.


21/41

POLICY PATHThird Reading

From committee, bills are placed on General Order and thenbrought up for a third reading for the full body of the

chamber.

At this stage, bills are subject to further discussion, debate,

and amendments. Substantial changes to a bill are written

as a Floor Substitute. House rules require that FloorSubstitutes be submitted 48 hours prior to a bills hearing.

All bills advance if they receive a simple majority of votes.

Emergency Clauses attached to bills and measures that

change the constitution require 2/3rds majority vote.

All bills have titles. If members Strike the Title, the bill

becomes defective or crippled. This action slows down

the progress of a bill and ensures that it receives further

consideration. This mostly happens to bills containing

financial impacts to the state or that are works in progress.

Bills that pass are transmitted to the other chamber.


22/41

POLICY PATHOpposite Chamber

Following successful passage of a bill in its chamber oforigin, it becomes engrossed, and sent to the opposite

chamber.

Bills advance through the same process of First Reading,

Second Reading, committee consideration, and Third

Reading as in the original chamber. There are some variations in the procedures used by each chamber

as specified by the House and Senate Rules.

Bills can have their titles stricken during this process.

For bills that already have stricken titles, the second chamber may

Strike the Enacting Clause, which further ensures that the bill will

not advance without further consideration by both chambers.

If bills pass the opposite chamber unchanged, it becomes

enrolled and is sent to the Governor for his/her action.

If bills are amended in any way, they are returned to the

original chamber for additional consideration.


23/41

POLICY PATHAfter Third Reading

Once the bill returns to the original chamber, the author can:

Move to accept the amendments. If approved by a vote of thechamber, it is moved to Fourth Reading and Final Passage under the

same rules as Third Reading; OR

Move to reject the amendments and send the bill to conference

committee.

Bills with stricken titles and/or enacting clauses must be sent to a

conference committee to advance further.

Conference Committee A bill must be assigned to a conference committee for it to advance.

Committees contain at least three members assigned by House and Senate

leadership.

Appropriations bills and bills with budgetary impacts may be referred tothe General Conference Committee on Appropriations (GCCA).

Other than GCCA, few conference committees actually meet.

Working with their colleagues, lobbyists, advocates, and state agency

personnel, key leaders assigned to the conference committee work out the

details of the bill.


24/41

POLICY PATHConference Committee Reports

A Conference Committee can:

Accept the amendments from both houses.

Reject the amendments of both houses and propose a Conference Committee

Substitute.

Conference Committee Substitutes can often bear little resemblance to the

original legislation proposed. They may contain language from bills that were

defeated or not heard earlier in session.

Action taken by a Conference Committee results in a Conference CommitteeReport (CCR). The report must gain a majority of signatures from members

assigned to the committee from each chamber.

CCRs must lay over in the House 36 hours before it can be considered.

Exception: final days of Session or suspension of the rules.

CCRs are submitted to a vote of the originating chamber first. Reports can

be approved or rejected, but not amended. If a CCR is approved, it is then brought up for a vote on fourth and final

reading. If approved, the CCR is brought to the second chamber for

approval.

If a CCR is rejected, another conference may be requested with the same or

different members appointed by the two chambers.


25/41

POLICY PATH

Action by the Governor An enrolled bill approved by both chambers is transmitted to the

Governor. The Governor can do the following:

Sign the bill into law within five days.

Allow the bill to become law by taking no action within five days when

the legislature is in session.

Veto the entire bill. The legislature can override the Governor by a

2/3rd majority vote (68 votes from the House and 32 from the Senate).

If the bill contains an emergency clause, the veto must be overridden

by a 3/4th majority vote (76 votes from the House and 36 from the

Senate).

Line-item veto spending items in appropriations bills. Such vetoes are

similarly subject to being overridden by the legislature.

Following legislative adjournment, the Governor has fifteen days to

sign the bill, veto a bill, or exercise a pocket veto by taking no

action.

BUDGET PROCESSAppropriating Revenue

The largest fund subject to appropriations is the General RevenueFund.

Other major funds have restricted purposes.

The legislature cannot appropriate more than 95% of certified

funds for the upcoming year. This allows for a budgetary

cushion in case of a revenue shortfall.

Some funds are not certified and the legislature can appropriate

100% of the projected revenues.

During the fiscal year, if revenues meet expectations, the 5%

reserve is deposited into the Cash Flow Reserve Fund and is

available for appropriation.

State Budget Three main funding sources pay for government operations and

programs:

State Appropriated Funds,

Federal Funds, and

Revolving Funds (fees, millage, co-pays, etc).

State agencies combine funding streams and sources.

State agencies are either appropriatedor non-appropriated.

Non-appropriated agencies are funded through fees, assessments,

contributions, etc. (examples: Oklahoma Public Employees

and others).
