Gov. Mary Fallin sets Dec. 18 as second special session start date

OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Mary Fallin on Thursday set a second special session for Dec. 18.

“Budget plan estimates are being developed on various revenue proposals,” Fallin said. “Instead of waiting for final details, I wanted to give legislators enough notice as possible about when they should return to the Capitol.”

The governor did not file an executive order for the special session. She will do that at a later date.

Fallin said the date of the session will give state officials time to get the latest revenue estimates for the upcoming 2019 fiscal year. A preliminary estimate of available funds for legislative appropriation will be available that week for the Dec. 20 meeting of the Board of Equalization, she said.

Fallin said she hopes the estimate will show revenue growth for the 2019 fiscal year.
