Oklahoma House 2010 "Limited Government" Score

 Attached please find the OK-SAFE 2010 OK House of Representatives 3rd Reading Vote Summary, listing all 101 OK Representatives.

 Upon the 3rd reading of a bill, having received a majority of the floor votes, a bill advances to the opposite chamber. (This 'Engrossed' version of the bill is viewable at www.lsb.state.ok.us / -Click Text of Measures, Click Engrossed.) This the version of the bill the Senate will be deliberating on.

 

This Summary of House bills is not exhaustive, but rather highlights 10bills from this session that are reflective of the growing political climate calling for constitutionally-limited government, and which are important to the citizens of Oklahoma.

 

Of the 10 House bills listed voted on and advanced, 6 should have received a YEA vote, and 4 should have received a NAY vote to qualify as a constitutionally-limited vote. Five bills are noted that were not advanced, despite having had little or $0 fiscal impact.

 

The general guidelines for supporting a bill was that it promotes constitutionally-limited government, or was a pre-emptive bill against more federal intrusion or initiatives.

 

The general guidelines for opposing a bill were that the bill increased the power, scope and reach of government beyond its proper function or boundaries, and/or increased the use of technology as enforcer. (i.e surveillance).

 

The Representatives 'Limited Government' score is to the right of the Nay vote columns.

 

The assumption has been that since Oklahoma has a 'conservative' majority in the House, and having many members who campaigned on a limited government platform, that there would be not difficulty in passing limited government legislation. Yet HB 2317, creating the OK Enumerated Powers Act, failed by a vote of 34 Yea and 60 Nays. (30 of the Yeas were Republicans while 28 of the Nays were Republicans)

 

Five legislators scored a 9 out of a possible 10. (Rep. Charles Key would have scored a 10, but attended a funeral on 3/4/10and missed one vote.)'Excused' indicates the legislator was not present to vote.

 

The five highest scoring House members were:

Rep. George Faught (HD14-R)-9

Rep. Charles Key (HD90-R) -9

Rep. Jason Murphey (HD31-R)-9

Rep. Mike Ritze (HD80-R) -9

Rep. Paul Wesselhoft (HD54-R)-9

 

The seven lowest scoring House members were:

Reps. Mike Brown (HD4), Ryan Kiesel (HD28), Jeannie McDaniel (HD78), Danny Morgan (HD32), Glen Smithson (HD2) -(Ds) scored 2

Rep. Paul Roan (HD20-D)-1

Rep. Bill Nations (HD44-D)-0

 

This preliminary Summary serves as one indication of how the 2010 OK House members have been voting on bills of importance to the growing grassroots movement in Oklahoma.

Be friendly, earnest and down to earth. Oklahoma legislators seem to like a lowkey approach. If a legislator disagrees with you, don't become aggressive, defensive, or over-intellectual.
