** OKLAHOMA. Lawmakers Override Gov. Stitt's Veto, Extend OETA
Contract
Thursday, May 25th 2023, 4:05 pm By: Haley Weger {with audiovideo}
Lawmakers are using the final days of the legislative session to
override Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes. One of the vetoes: to extend the
contract for OETA to continue operating until 2026.
The override ensures that the continuation of the only public TV
station in Oklahoma, which was a big goal of the state legislature
this year.
Both the Oklahoma House and Senate decided to override the governor’s
veto for the OETA bill on Thursday. A bipartisan effort in both
chambers.
The governor vetoed the House bill that would continue funding OETA
earlier this month.
Stitt called OETA an outdated system saying, “I don’t think Oklahomans
want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids."
The governor’s office sent News 9 a list of shows that Stitt deemed
“inappropriate content,” including an episode of “Clifford the Big Red
Dog” that featured the topic of gay marriage.

Lawmakers override Stitt's vetoes, including OETA legislation

The Oklahoma Legislature fired back at Gov. Kevin Stitt's veto
authority on Thursday, ensuring the continued survival of OETA and
criticizing the governor's "tantrum" earlier this session that led to
20 bills being vetoed.
Cheers broke out in the Oklahoma House of Representatives as lawmakers
approved the bill that reauthorizes OETA as a state entity for at
least another three years. The Senate added its override vote a few
hours later.
In his veto of House Bill 2820 last month, Stitt said he questioned
the public broadcaster's value to the state. He later claimed OETA
"overly sexualizes" children and indoctrinates them.
Asked for proof, he pointed to news programs that discussed
transgender issues and scripted programming that acknowledges the
existence of LGBTQ people.
Thirteen bills were pressed into law Thursday as lawmakers spent hours
undoing the governor's decisions. Some had pointed words for the
governor.
State Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, said Stitt "ignored the
authority of the Legislature" when he vetoed a bill to reauthorize the
board that oversees licensed architects and interior designers.
Stitt also showed "no logical reason or rational thinking" when
vetoing a bill that corrected an error in previously adopted
legislation, said state Sen. Todd Gollihare, R-Kellyville.
During the months-long legislative fight over how to give families a
tax credit for sending their child to private school, the governor
vetoed 20 unrelated Senate bills as retribution for not yet adopting
his tax cut and education plans.
"We're not even dealing with a policy bill, yet here we are today
taking up the time of the Senate to address a veto message that
appears to me to be nothing more than a tantrum," said state Sen.
Chuck Hall, R-Perry.
Senate Floor Leader Greg McCortney referred to the bills as the
"tantrum 20."
"During a recent tantrum, the chief executive of the state indicated
that he did not think it was important for hospice patients who reside
in nursing homes to have quick access to pain medication," said
McCortney, R-Ada, referring to the veto of Senate Bill 249.
Between the House and Senate, lawmakers considered veto overrides on
nearly three dozen bills Thursday, but only 13 were overridden by both
chambers. In total, 32 out of the 46 bills vetoed this year remain in
jeopardy, including legislation on victim protective orders,
McCortney's bill on hospice medicine and modifications to assistance
programs for state employees and disabled Oklahomans.
House lawmakers sustained the governor's veto on legislation that
could have made it more costly to defend against SLAPP lawsuits, or
strategic lawsuits against public participation.
Vetoes on the following bills were overridden by both chambers on
Thursday. Lawmakers will meet again Friday, leaving time for
additional overrides if leadership bring them to the floor.

Education
