FROM: OML Legislative Department
RE: 2019 State Legislative Requests
DATE: June 27, 2018
With the 2018 Legislative Session completed, it is time to start planning for the 2019 legislative session. OML values the perspective of all members on legislative concerns. We encourage municipal officials to participate in the process as we present a united legislative effort.
Each year, OML chooses priority issues that directly affect the future well-being of Oklahoma’s cities and towns, and those who live in them. The issues are ratified by the OML membership during the annual conference business meeting on Thursday, September 13, in Oklahoma City.
The League then introduces these issues as legislation and works to usher them through the legislative process.
We have included a detailed legislative request form. Please complete and submit this form by Friday, July 27 to Jodi Lewis at jlewis@oml.org or by fax at 405-528-7560. Alternatively, please fill out the form online.
If you submit a proposal, please plan to attend the OML Legislative Committee meeting to
present your issue on Wednesday, August 1 at 9:00 a.m. in the OML boardroom. If you are unable to attend, please contact Jodi Lewis at jlewis@oml.org to provide details on the need for this legislative change.
Your municipality’s participation and input will assist OML in creating a focused set of legislative targets, which reflect the issues of greatest importance for cities and towns.
Thank you for your involvement, and thanks to those among you who give their time and expertise in developing these proposals.
Please complete the online form or the attached legislative summary and return to the OML offices by email, mail or fax
by Friday, July 27. The OML Legislative Committee will review all requests and make recommendations to the OML Board of Directors. The board-approved issues will be presented to the full membership during the business meeting at the OML annual conference on Thursday, September 13, in Oklahoma City.
Please help us identify the issues of importance to your community by returning the completed form as soon as possible.
