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.
-
8/14/2019 Oklahoma Legislative Overview 2009
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.
-
8/14/2019 Oklahoma Legislative Overview 2009
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.
-
8/14/2019 Oklahoma Legislative Overview 2009
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.
-
8/14/2019 Oklahoma Legislative Overview 2009
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.
-
8/14/2019 Oklahoma Legislative Overview 2009
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
Retirement System, State Banking Department, Board of Nursing,
and others).
