From The Capitol:

At the state capitol, legislators enter “deadline week”.  All bills moving forward must come out of their house of origin this week.  Thus, all Senate bills must pass the Oklahoma Senate and all House bills must pass the Oklahoma House of Representatives or they are dead.  This process will greatly reduce the number of bills being considered by the legislature during the rest of the session. 

In Washington, D.C., besides the continuing focus on health care restructuring, the U.S. Senate is considering a “jobs bill” that will include a one-year extension of the Former Indian Lands tax credits.  This bill is important to Oklahoma business.
