Good info (The Oklahoman)

By The Oklahoman Editorial Board

For those who want to understand how Oklahoma’s legislative process works, the Oklahoma Policy Institute has released its latest Oklahoma Legislative Primer. The primer (https://okpolicy.org/resources/2015-oklahoma-legislative-primer) gives information on the composition of the Legislature and executive branch, the legislative calendar, how a bill becomes a law, the state budget process, and more. OK Policy has also created “What’s That?”, an online glossary of terms related to Oklahoma politics and government. If you ever wondered what lawmakers are referring to when they discuss “striking title,” or the meaning of similar arcane terms, the “What’s That?” site can tell you. Public scrutiny is key to the production of good policy at the Oklahoma Capitol, but too often such scrutiny is made difficult due to the complexities of the process. Because OK Policy’s primer helps citizens overcome those obstacles, it provides a public service for all Oklahomans.
