Oklahoma Legislature Adopts Recess After Prolonged Session
Oklahoma City May 17 Technically the state legislature recessed until June 23 with both houses set to resume Saturday to finish work. The revenue bill funding state departments near 1 million dollars passed the senate after editing to remove inheritance tax references. Senate actions defeated by amendments sought to repeal the tax ferret law. A $100,000 science hall item for the Norman university was defeated in the senate after conflicting conference actions. The conference committee reinstated the science hall funding and raised the second year maintenance to 160,000 dollars. The conference report passed 19 17, but the bill failed 20 16.
