2024 legislative session starts February 5

LOOK FOR YOUR UPDATES. THANK YOU. THOSE BILLS WE TOLD YOU ABOUT JUST A FEW OF SEVERAL 100 BEING FILED IN PREPARATION FOR THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THAT WITH MANY CHANGES TO THOSE BILL. SURE TO COME. YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING HOW A BILL ACTUALLY BECOMES A LAW IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. THERE IS A LENGTHY PROCESS BEFORE THE GOVERNOR SIGNS OFF NEWS, 4 SPOKE WITH 2 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHO BROKE DOWN THE PROCESS. >> 15% OF BILLS ACTUALLY GET PASS AND GET THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE. AND THERE ARE A LOT OF BILLS THAT HAVE STOPS ALONG THE WAY. SO ONCE YOU GET TO INTRODUCE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAINST A COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS. ONCE THE PASSES COMMITTEE, THEN IT GOES TO THE FLOOR. I THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT CHAMBER, WHETHER THAT THE SENATE OR THE HOUSE HEARS THE BILL, THEY VOTE ON IT OR ADD AMENDMENTS ON IT AND THEN REPEATS ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> THAT WAS CINDY WHEN FROM THE ACLU OF OKLAHOMA AND THE MORE CEO OF LET'S FIX THIS, A NON PARTISAN ORGANIZATION AIMED AT MAKING THE VOTING PROCESS MORE ACESSIBLE.

HE SAYS WITH THIS BEING A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR, MORE EYES WILL BE ON LAWMAKERS AS VOTERS TRY TO DECIDE WHICH CANDIDATES SHARE THEIR VIEWS. >> 2024 IS GOING TO BE A VERY PIVOTAL YEAR FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE. IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR IS A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR. A LOT OF THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP IS TERMING OUT. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS AND I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE PUBLIC PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON HOW WE VOTE IN NOVEMBER. SO NO DOUBT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION. CLOSE LOOK. >> YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO OUR REGULAR COVERAGE FROM THE CAPITOL ON AIR AND ONLINE AND ALL BLACKS POINT. BUT WE'RE ALSO LINKING TO MORE INFO ON KF OR DOT COM.
