Rulemakers to take up bills from other side

Journal Record, The (Oklahoma City), Mar 14, 1997 by William O. Pitts Journal Record Correspondent

The Legislature ended the second phase of its session Thursday when it concluded first consideration of bills by the house of origin. Starting next Monday, the third phase of the session will begin.

House committees will be taking up engrossed Senate bills, and Senate committees will work on engrossed House bills assigned to them. They will have two weeks to advance the bills out of committee for floor consideration. Bills remaining in standing committees at the end of that period will not be considered further during the current session of the Legislature.
