2021 Public Policy Guide

OKLAHOMA STATE LEGISLATURE PRO-BUSINESS SCORES

It is critical for the business community to support candidates and elected officials who will advance pro-business legislation at the Capitol. The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber’s government relations division uses information prepared by the statewide Research Institute for Economic Development (RIED) to identify elected officials’ votes on issues important to the business community. Alongside the RIED scores, the Chamber also assigns a score based on economic development issues included in the Chamber’s public policy agenda that are important to both the Greater Oklahoma City region and state. In 2020, the Chamber tracked votes on key pro-business legislation and assigned a score to legislators based on their

support for these measures. A selection of the key bills the Chamber scored last session were: Technical Changes to expand the Software/Cyber Security Engineers Tax Credit (SB 1204); County Jail Trust (HB 2668); Regional Transportation Authority (SB 1263); Covid-19 Liability Protection (SB 1946); Cap on Non-Economic Damages (SJR 40); and, No Guns Allowed in Scissortail Park/Concerts (HB 3010). See all scoring criteria at www.okcchamber.com/scorecard. The following charts represent the voting records for State House and State Senate members based on the issues identified by the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber and RIED for 2020.
