Bill > SCR1

This concurrent resolution amends the Joint Rules for the 60th Oklahoma Legislature (2025-2026), establishing comprehensive guidelines for legislative operations and procedures. The resolution updates rules covering joint sessions, inter-chamber communications, legislation availability, joint committees, conference committees, and legislative scheduling. Key provisions include establishing detailed procedures for joint committees, particularly the Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget (JCAB), which has specific rules for recommending and advancing legislation. The resolution sets specific legislative deadlines for bill introduction and passage during both the First and Second Regular Sessions, with dates ranging from January 2025 to May 2026. It also outlines processes for recalling bills from the Governor, suspending joint rules, and governing the Legislative Office for Fiscal Transparency (LOFT) Oversight Committee. The rules provide mechanisms for committee operations, voting procedures, meeting notices, and leadership appointments, ensuring structured and transparent legislative processes. Notably, the resolution allows for some flexibility in deadlines and rule application for specific types of legislation, such as pension bills, appropriations measures, and emergency proposals.
