deadline Near to get bills out of committee

April 24 is the deadline for Oklahoma lawmakers to get bills out of committee, so they have a chance to be heard on the floor. Some notable bills that will be heard in committee this week include a bill to make shopping cart theft a misdemeanor, a bill that would prohibit the misbranding of food such as lab-grown meat and a bill that would change school board elections to fall in line with the general election cycle.
