STATE BUDGET

Oklahoma’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 in the following year.  State agencies submit their budget requests to the governor by October 1.   The governor submits the proposed budget to the state legislature in February.  The legislature typically adopts a budget in May.  The governor is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget proposal, and the legislature is required to pass a balanced budget.

STATE LEGISLATURE

There are 101 members of the State House of Representatives, each serving a two-year term, and 48 state senators, who serve staggered four-year terms.  Regular legislative sessions begin at twelve o’clock noon on the first Monday in February of each year and end not later than five o’clock p.m. on the last Friday in May of each year.
