House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson celebrates passage of Caucus priorities helping all Oklahomans

OKLAHOMA CITY – House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, gave an update on House Democratic priorities as the First Session of the 60th Oklahoma Legislature reaches its halfway point. “I am pleased to announce House Democrats passed 30 bills off the House Floor that are now eligible to be heard in the Senate,” Leader Munson said. “All of these bills were in line with our priorities of lowering costs for working families, supporting public education, creating better access to healthcare and childcare, and protecting the most vulnerable Oklahomans. I am proud of every Member of the House Democratic Caucus for standing up for the rights of all Oklahomans and devoting their time and energy to working on policies we know will help the State of Oklahoma.” Bills passed off the House Floor by House Democrats include but are not limited to: HB 1848, Rep. Suzanne Schreiber, HD-70 An Employer tax credit for sharing in childcare costs to strengthen our workforce infrastructure. HB 1111, Rep. Ellen Pogemiller, HD-88 Creates an elderly simplified application project for SNAP for 60+ or individuals with a disability. HB 1852, Rep. Suzanne Schreiber, HD-70 Protects consumers to ensure understanding of annual subscription commitments and requires reminder prior to renewal. HB 1982, Rep. Trish Ranson, HD-34 Requires textbook vendors have electronic materials available at time of sale. HB 1493, Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, HD-46 Requires at least 30 minutes of daily recess for all-day Pre-K through 5th grade, leaving scheduling to local school boards. HB 1955, Rep.

HB 1831, Rep. Ellyn Hefner, HD-87 Creates the Oklahoma Community Health Workers Act: the legislative foundation to recognize Community Health Workers as an essential part of the healthcare system. HB 1389, Rep. Melissa Provenzano, HD-79 Covers diagnostic and supplemental mammograms with no cost-sharing. HB 1853, Rep.

HB 2235, Leader Cyndi Munson, HD-85 Updates compensation for those who are wrongfully convicted.   “While I am happy with the work we were able to accomplish, there is still so much more to do,” Leader Munson said. “Members of the House Democratic Caucus filed over 200 pieces of legislation that would raise the minimum wage, modernize and expand the sales tax relief credit, raise teacher and support staff pay, expand Oklahoma’s Promise, and ensure every child in our state has access to nutritious meals at schools. Unfortunately, these bills were not given a hearing by legislative Republican leaders. Moving bills through the legislative process is not an easy task, but Members of our Caucus continue—and will continue—to put in the hard work it takes to ensure everyday Oklahomans have the best chance of prosperity and success. We will never give up working to fight for all Oklahomans all across our state—we are committed to improving the lives of everyone.” -END-

OKLAHOMA CITY – House Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, D-Norman, received the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) 2025 Government and Professional Relations (GPR) Champion for Children Award. NASP says this award is given to individuals or groups who have supported political action and advocacy to improve education and mental health services for children, youth, and their families. “I’m so excited to be recognized as the National Association of School Psychologists Champion for Children!” Rosecrants said. “My passion as a teacher before I was elected and now has always been to do all I can to help children, and support teachers and educational professionals like school psychologists. This is reflected by the policies I support and the bills I author. I don’t do any of this for accolades, but I’m beyond honored to accept this prestigious national award. I do so on behalf of an amazing team of school psychologists who have helped me to learn as much about what they do as I’ve helped them to understand how things work within the Capitol. Special recognition to past-president of the Oklahoma School Psychological Association (OSPA) Jackie Johns and NASP Oklahoma Delegate Sara Rich for nominating me for this award.” Rosecrants will be honored at the 2025 annual convention of the National Association of School Psychologists in Seattle, Wash. on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. -END-

House Democrats request timeline for OSDE funding remedy

OKLAHOMA CITY – Today, Oklahoma House Democrats requested a timeline from the Oklahoma State Department of Education on the outstanding funding and service issues as schools open their doors for the 2024 school year. “House Democrats have called on the Republican supermajority five times now for accountability of the State Superintendent,” House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, said. “We need an investigative committee charged with holding him accountable to his willful neglect to do his job as State Superintendent, especially with the most recent announcement by the Senate Pro Tem stating Senators will need to recuse themselves from the LOFT investigation. We remain committed to being the adults in the room and focused on the work important to all Oklahomans.” On Thursday, August 15, 2024, it was announced the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency will begin an investigation into the spending concerns of OSDE. “I welcome the bipartisan LOFT investigation into the dealings of the OSDE,” Rep. Trish Ranson, D-Stillwater said. “This investigation will push findings until next year, and our students need help now - not a year from now.”  Many school districts have reported missing dollars. Rep. Andy Fugate, D-Del City, says these monies should have been accounted for before the beginning of the school year. “Perhaps schools start later in other states, but here in Oklahoma, it starts mid-August. They need answers and service today, now,” Fugate said. Rep. Melissa Provenzano, D-Tulsa, says solutions are needed as soon as possible. “Title 1 dollars, maternity leave reimbursement, school security dollars and money for inhalers for kids are still all in question,” Provenzano said. “Teacher certification renewals have lagged for months and the student information systems needed to properly serve special needs students appears to be offline. These issues require resolution sooner rather than later. We must move quickly to restore missing funding and fix broken services.” House Democrats also requested OSDE provide evidence of sufficient staff that are capable of resolving these issues. “It’s important to remind folks why we are working so hard to ensure that there is accountability and transparency under our current State Superintendent: It’s about making sure the public-school districts that serve our kids have the funding and support they need,” said Rep. Jacob Rosecrants, D-Norman. -END-
