Hill Passes Oklahoma Enterprise Task Force Through House
Rep. Brian Hill, R-Mustang, passed legislation encouraging economic growth through infrastructure development off the Oklahoma House of Representatives floor. House Bill 3622, authored by Hill, creates the Oklahoma Enterprise Task Force, which would make recommendations on best practice methods to support infrastructure development throughout the state. "The success of Oklahoma is dependent on ensuring we're investing in all regions of Oklahoma, especially rural," Hill said. "There are plenty of economic opportunities for people in the metro areas but fewer options exist as you move further out. To keep Oklahoma strong, we must continue to invest in our people and our infrastructure, and this task force is a way to do that with no cost to taxpayers." In his ongoing work to expand employment opportunities for Oklahoma’s youth and families, Hill also authored the legislation which created the Oklahoma Workforce Commission in 2023, bills helping hardworking Oklahomans by modernizing the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, and multiple bills since 2020 to address Restorative Workforce in response to the needs of employers across Oklahoma for skilled workers. “By working together for real long-term solutions, we can build a stronger future for our families and communities across every region of this great state and move Oklahoma forward,” Hill said. The task force, which would comprise of 25 members, will submit a final report detailing recommendations to the Governor, Speaker of the House and Senate Pro Tempore by Dec. 1, 2025. HB3622 passed the House 80-6 and now moves to the Senate.
