Oklahoma House Rejects Tax Break for Prescription Drugs
In Oklahoma City the House failed to attach an amendment exempting prescription drugs from the sales tax to a measure extending agricultural exemptions. Rep. Don Kilpatrick blamed Gov. David Boren for the defeat but remained hopeful for separate legislation. The 93-2 vote supported the agricultural exemption, while Kilpatrick’s amendment lost 44-52. The bill moves to the governor after Senate approval.
