Guthrie Jan 15 The Oklahoma House debates the Billups prohibition bill with 18 of 27 dispensary sections adopted and calls to strike out the remaining sections.

Conflicting views persist as amendments seek to separate dispensary and enforcement provisions and limit certain taxes and actions. The Senate considers multiple bills while the House adds measures on taxes, voting rights, and other public acts.
