AfP tracks Oklahoma legislature key bills

The Oklahoma chapter of Americans for Prosperity has posted its list of key bills for the Oklahoma legislature's 2012 session. Groups like AfP use their announced key bills as the basis for rankings of state representatives and state senators. Each bill has information on the sponsor, the purpose of the bill, AfP's support or opposition and their rationale, and the current status of the bill.

AfP opposes requiring out-of-state companies with subsidiaries or affilates in Oklahoma to collect Oklahoma sales tax, supports the various bills to phase out the state income tax, supports elimination of transferable tax credits, supports the establishment of statewide virtual charter schools, supports steps to make state employee pension funds solvent and to prevent fiscally irresponsible changes to pensions, supports workers' compensation reform, opposes creation of the Oklahoma Healthcare Exchange, and supports applying spill-over money from the rainy day fund to reduce Oklahoma's unfunded liabilities. See the AfP website for specific bill numbers and detailed rationale for support or opposition.
