Legislature To Adjourn A Week Early?
The Oklahoma Legislature may be able to adjourn a week early, leaders say.
The Senate on Thursday Senate Concurrent Resolution 71, which sets adjournment by 5 p.m. May 23rd instead of May 30th.
House Speaker Chris Benge agrees early adjournment is likely.
Amber England, the Senate Democratic communications director, said the constitution requires the legislative session to end by the last Friday in May. Adjourning May 23 rather than May 30 allows members to return to their districts and families without having to return to Oklahoma City after Memorial Day, she said
