OHLAP Enhancement Act Moves Forward
A bill aimed at giving greater opportunities for Oklahoma’s school children to obtain a college education won unanimous approval for the Senate budget panel.
The measure, called the OHLAP Enhancement Act, by Senator Randy Bass (D-Lawton) is part of the Senate Democratic “Vision for Oklahoma: Opportunity and Responsibility” 2008 legislative agenda.
“Oklahoma’s Promise has proven to be one of the greatest investments we have made in the future of our state,” Bass said. “It has increased the number of college graduates in our state, and made college more affordable to working and middle-class families in our state. But we can, and should do more.”
Bass said the OHLAP Enhancement Act will boost Oklahoma’s Promise by adding the cost of books and fees into the scholarship that currently only includes the cost of tuition for those Oklahoma students who make good grades and stay out of trouble.
