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 2021, 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: Keeping Guns Out of Concerts at Scissortail Park (HB 2645); Providing Liability Protections to Move Forward Regional Transit Initiatives (SB 967); Extending Oklahoma Quality Events Act to 2026 (HB 1121); Clarifying and Modifying Aerospace Engineering Tax Credit (SB 893); Charter School Funding Provided From Medical Marijuana Taxes (SB 229); and Modifying and Extending Local Development Act/Ad Valorem Exemption (SB 609). See all scoring criteria at okcchamber.com/scorecard.
