Chapman Bills Advance to Senate

OKLAHOMA CITY – Three measures by Rep. Mark Chapman, R-Broken Arrow, passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives this week and now move to the Senate for further consideration. "I’m grateful to my colleagues in the House for supporting these measures," Chapman said. "Each of these bills addresses a different area of state policy, but they all focus on strengthening our systems and making sure state law is clear, consistent and working the way it should for Oklahomans." One of the measures, House Bill 3787 , clarifies that candidates for municipal office as well as individuals serving on school district and technology center school district boards of education must be qualified electors as defined by the Oklahoma Constitution. The measure helps ensure consistency in state law by making clear that these requirements apply across multiple levels of public office. The bill also reinforces existing language requiring candidates for state and county offices to meet qualified elector standards. Another measure, House Bill 4191 , modifies provisions of the Small Employer Quality Jobs Incentive Act administered by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. The bill updates investment requirements and other program provisions to help ensure the program continues supporting job creation and economic development across the state. Chapman also advanced House Bill 1739 , which addresses provisions related to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System. The bill adjusts employer and employee contribution rates and clarifies eligibility for certain retirement benefit calculations. All three measures now move to the Oklahoma Senate for further consideration.

Chapman Leads Interim Study on Medicaid and Health Care Challenges

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Mark Chapman, R-Broken Arrow, along with Reps. Preston Stinson, R-Edmond and Mark Tedford, R-Jenks, hosted an interim study examining the potential impacts of HR1, known as the Big Beautiful Bill, on Oklahoma’s health care system and Medicaid services. “I was honored to host an interim study on the impact of HR1 and the potential effects it may have on health care and Medicaid services here in Oklahoma,” Chapman said. “It’s apparent that Oklahoma has some dependence on the federal government’s participation in paying for health care, and it’s important to know how that impacts our state budget and the delivery of health care services and outcomes.” Participants in the study included representatives from the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, the Oklahoma Hospital Association, SoonerSelect and a practicing physician. Each offered a unique perspective on how proposed federal changes could affect access to care, provider reimbursements and the stability of the state’s health care network.  Panelists included Christina Foss, assistant director of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, Scott Tohlen and Maggie Martin representing the Oklahoma Hospital Association, Haley Falkenberry with SoonerSelect and Dr. Tracy Hoos, a pediatrician from Muskogee.  Chapman said hearing from experts across four areas, state agencies, hospitals, insurers and rural health providers, offered a valuable look at how policy shifts could affect Oklahomans on multiple levels.  “Our goal is to closely work with the federal delegation and stay ahead of the game so that we can deliver improved health care to Oklahoma and not experience anything that abruptly affects our state budget,” Chapman said. “There are still challenges and problems, but I’m confident we can stay ahead of it to take care of the most vulnerable in our population.” Chapman said he plans to continue monitoring federal policy changes over the next six to 12 months and work with other legislators in the upcoming session to strengthen health care delivery for all Oklahomans.
