Oklahoman
The Oklahoma House passed legislation that seeks to halt Gov. Kevin Stitt’s plan to outsource Medicaid care management to four major insurance companies.
On a vote of 73-17, the House late Tuesday evening approved legislation for the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, which oversees the state’s Medicaid program, to better manage health care in-house.
“Let’s start with reforming the system we have before tearing it apart,” said Republican Rep. Marcus McEntire, the bill’s author.
The House’s veto-proof support for Senate Bill 131, sends the legislation to the state Senate where it faces an uncertain path in the chamber because one of Oklahoma s top senators has expressed support for Stitt’s plan, dubbed SoonerSelect.
Senate sends student vision bill to governor
OKLAHOMA CITY â Legislation to help public schools more quickly identify students with vision problems passed the Senate on Wednesday.
House Bill 1598, authored by Rep. Melissa Provenzano, D-Tulsa and Sen. Marty Quinn, R-Claremore, authorizes the State Department of Education to approve a list of personnel who may conduct required vision screenings for students.
The American Optometric Association estimates that current school eye exams give less than four percent of a comprehensive eye exam. HB1598 would increase the chances of success for students with vision problems.
HB1598 is now eligible to be signed into law by Gov. Kevin Stitt.
