It’s a whole new ballgame: the 53rd Oklahoma Legislature gets started in less than a week. For CRNA’s, it’s back to work to ensure our ability to provide high-quality health care to Oklahomans, regardless their status or income level. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees all Oklahomans deserve accessible, affordable high-quality care, and it’s up to all CRNA’s and our allies to beat back those who want to restrict the exceptional care we provide.
Both chambers of the legislature are still controlled by the Republicans, but there are complete overhauls in the leadership teams with new Pro Tem Brian Bingman and Speaker Kris Steele. It’s important that each and every member of the OANA be familiar with the rapid deadlines that the house and senate follow as the session grinds along. Here are the deadlines for the house, and here are the senate deadlines.
A formal one-day session takes place next Tuesday, January 4th, and both chambers will dismiss until February when the on-the-record work actually begins.
