Oklahoma Lawmakers Step Up Work in 1976 Session
Oklahoma House and Senate committees pressed ahead as the 1976 session opened. The House approved several bills and acted on its first measure for the governor this week. Senate amendments to a 1975 school aid bill were sent to the governor, while a price advertising bill for eyeglasses faced Rules Committee action amid opposition. The House moved to broaden the minimum wage act to include farm workers and part timers and to cap medical malpractice awards, and introduced the final bill to implement Governor Boren’s government reorganization program to rename the State Crime Commission and expand its membership.
