HB1515

Paraphrase: HB1515, by Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City and Sen. Charles Wyrick, D-Fairland, creates the Oklahoma Resource Reclamation Act for the purpose of managing private unoccupied lands within the state to discouraging the proliferation of wildfires, reduce and control the infestation of Eastern Red Cedar trees on lands, and modify the growth of all trees, vegetation and other fuel sources from areas within 100 feet of homes or other structures, so as to reduce the threat and severity of wildfires in accordance with the Firewise Program guidelines adopted by the National Fire Protection Association. Clarifies language related to the Oklahoma Resource Reclamation Act. The measure finds unoccupied private lands to be considered infested and containing abandoned property if there are alive and growing Eastern Red Cedar trees, other tree species, vegetation and other fuel sources, excluding endangered species of trees or vegetation and cross timber or valuable hardwood, which are not less than five-feet tall and are at a density of at least fifty trees per acre, the ratio of vegetation and trees that are harmful to open land constitutes a forest within definitions of the Oklahoma Forestry Code, and city or county officials have determined, based on information regarding infestation published on the website of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, that the infestation is harmful or threatening to adjacent private or public property. The measure requires it to be the duty of every private absentee landowner in each county in the state to manage and control infestation in a manner sufficient to prevent or reduce the threat of wildfires and will comply with the purposes of the Oklahoma Forestry Code and remove Eastern Red Cedar trees on the property if it is determined that the property is infested and to manage, control and remove infestation deemed to be a fire hazard to cause those trees, vegetation and other fuel sources declared by local officials, in compliance with local nuisance ordinances, to be abandoned property. The measure require by written complaint, the absentee landowner to be notified of the intent to remove the abandoned property and shall have 30 days to submit a response or to file a forest management plan detailing actions to be taken and intent to comply with fire safety recommendations and the city, county or state officials to approve or disapprove the response or forest management plan. The bill requires if the absentee landowner fails to respond to the complaint or to file a forest management plan, city, county or state officials to determine the most appropriate method for removal of the infestation, based on information regarding infestation published on the website of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, and take action to remove the infestation, the city, county or state officials to give preference to harvesters registered with the Eastern Red Cedar Registry Board, and any costs associated with the removal incurred by city, county or state officials to be the responsibility of, and shall be reimbursed by, the absentee landowner. The measure requires an agreement to reimburse removal costs to be entered into between the absentee landowner and the county or city whose nuisance or abandoned property ordinance(s) was violated or the state agency whose forest management practices were violated, and whose assets were extended to remove the infestation. The measure states insurers duly licensed in the state writing property insurance are hereby encouraged to provide incentives to policyholders who implement and conform to Firewise Program guidelines adopted by the National Fire Protection Association, including creating a fuel-free defensible zone around homes and other structures. The bill allows an owner of qualifying eastern red cedar property to apply to the county assessor for the county in which the property is located to have the property reclassified to timber waste or the lowest classification category allowed in the county, an owner of qualifying eastern red cedar property who has removed the infestation may apply for in lieu tax treatment for a single tax year pursuant to this section, and requires the owner must reapply and be approved pursuant to this section for each additional tax year. The bill requires, upon application by a property owner for the in lieu tax treatment, the county assessor for the county in which the property is located to verify that the applicant satisfies the provisions of this section for the applicable tax year and has removed the infestation. The bill allows the county assessor to request such additional information as may be necessary in order to complete the verification required by this subsection, and, if approved, the county assessor to provide the approval to qualifying property owners in writing specifying the tax year for which the property qualifies pursuant to this section. The bill requires that no more than 300,000 acres of qualifying eastern red cedar property statewide be approved during any one tax year, which number represents one-third of the total number of acres of property in the state that are classified by county assessors as timber waster. The bill requires that, beginning January 1, 2014, an owner of qualifying eastern red cedar property that has been approved who then files an election with the county assessor of the county in which the property is located to be subject to the in lieu tax payment requirements imposed to be subject to an in lieu tax which shall be levied at the rate of $1 per acre of qualifying eastern red cedar property for the applicable tax year and an election to be filed not later than March 15 of the applicable tax year and to be irrevocable and the in lieu tax treatment for the applicable tax year not to be subject to modification. The measure requires the in lieu payment required by this section to be paid to the county treasurer of the county or counties in which qualifying eastern red cedar property is located not later than December 1 of the applicable tax year. The measure requires the revenue derived from the in lieu tax required by this section to be apportioned by the county treasurer each year based upon the ratio that the millage levy of each local taxing jurisdiction in which the qualifying eastern red cedar property is located bears to the total amount of all millage levies imposed by all local taxing jurisdictions in which the qualifying eastern red cedar property is located, and these provisions to be applicable to general fund millage levies, building fund millage levies and sinking fund millage levies imposed each year. The act requires the payment of the tax imposed pursuant to the provisions of this section to be in lieu of any and all ad valorem taxes that would otherwise be imposed as a result of the millage levied against the taxable value of the qualifying eastern red cedar property for the applicable tax year. The bill requires if qualifying eastern red cedar property is subject to the in lieu payment required by the provisions of this section, the qualifying eastern red cedar property owner to not be eligible for the exemption for qualifying manufacturing concerns otherwise authorized. The measure requires if the in lieu tax payment required by this section is not paid by December 31 of the applicable tax year, the principal amount of the in lieu tax payment to bear interest at the rate of 15 percent per annum and there to be imposed an additional penalty of $500 for each month after December that the in lieu tax is not paid. The bill requires the penalty to accrue at the end of each month if the in lieu tax has not been paid as of that date and interest and penalty to be apportioned in the same manner as prescribed by this section for the principal amount of the in lieu tax payment. The bill requires by November 1, 2013, the Purchasing Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to register any manufacturer of products made from trees harvested in Oklahoma which is registered with the Eastern Red Cedar Registry Board on the central purchasing vendor registration system for state agency purchasing, in the appropriate category or categories of commodities and the Department to waive any registration fee for the manufacturer for the first year of registration.

The bill modifies definitions and updates statutory references. The bill also provides that an alternative to creating a new drilling and spacing unit or units, or modifying, superseding, amending or vacating the existing drilling and spacing unit or units, to accommodate the horizontal development will be the utilization of a multiunit horizontal well or wells for the planned development of a common source of supply through the use of horizontal well technology where there is currently production from the common source of supply within an existing unit or units, and the planned horizontal well or wells would extend beyond the boundaries of one or more the existing units. The bill modifies language related to the Corporation Commission's responsibility concerning each of the units affected by a multiunit horizontal well. The bill also provides the commission will have the authority to take such other action and to make such orders as may be necessary to protect the correlative rights or vested rights, or both, of interested parties within the previously existing unit or units, as well as the newly formed unit or units if it modifies, supersedes, amends or vacates the existing drilling and spacing unit or units, or creates a new drilling and spacing unit or units, for a common source of supply covering the same lands where there is currently, or has been, production from the common source of supply within a previously existing unit or units.

SB0784

Paraphrase: SB0784, by Sen. Dan Newberry, R-Tulsa and Rep. Fred Jordan, R-Jenks, eliminates the State Architectural and Registered Interior Designers Act and creates the State Architectural Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act. The bill makes it unlawful for any person to directly or indirectly engage in the practice of or offer to practice architecture or landscape architecture in this state, use in connection with the person's name, or otherwise assume the title of architect, landscape architect or registered interior designer, or advertise any title or description tending to convey the impression that the person is a licensed architect or landscape architect or is a registered interior designer unless the person is duly licensed or registered or exempt from licensure or registration under the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act and that the practice of architecture and landscape architecture and the use of the titles, architect, landscape architect or registered interior designer, are privileges granted by the state through the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers based upon the qualifications of the individual as evidenced by a certificate of licensure or registration which shall not be transferable. SB784 clarifies language related to the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act. The act requires each member of Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers to be a qualified elector of this state, and the architect and landscape architect members to have had five years' experience in the application or the study of the principles of their respective profession after initial licensure in Oklahoma. The measure requires registered interior designer members of the Board to have been registered by the Board for five years active and in good standing with the Board. The bill requires board members, other than the lay member, to be appointed for staggered five-year terms. The act prohibits members from serving more than two terms for appointments made subsequent to July 1, 2013. The measure allows the licensed architect, landscape architect, or the registered interior designer to be appointed by the Governor from a list of nominees submitted by respective professional societies of this state. The act removes language requiring the secretary-treasurer be reimbursed pursuant to the State Travel Reimbursement Act for travel and other expenses which will have been incurred while in the performance of the duties of this office. The act requires the Board to prepare, conduct, and grade examinations of persons who apply for the issuance of licenses or registrations, and to promulgate such rules with reference thereto as it may deem proper to determine competency for the issuance of licenses or registrations, work with nationally recognized licensing and registration organizations to prepare, conduct, and grade examinations, written or oral, of persons who shall apply for the issuance of licenses or registrations, wall or a portion of the initial license or registration fee for candidates graduating from accredited architecture, landscape architecture or interior design programs within the state when the Board has excess funds exceeding its two-year expense/revenue needs as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, determine the satisfactory passing score on such examinations and issue licenses or registrations to persons who have passed examinations, or who otherwise are entitled thereto, upon good cause shown, as hereinafter provided, deny the issuance of a license, registration, certificate of authority or certificate of title or suspend, revoke or refuse to renew licenses, registrations, certificates of title or certificates of authority previously issued, and upon proper showing, to reinstate licenses, registration or certificates, levy administrative fines plus the legal costs incurred by the Board to prosecute the case against any person or entity who violates any of the provisions of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act or any rule promulgated thereto, obtain an office, secure facilities, and employ, direct, discharge and define the duties and set the salaries of office personnel as deemed necessary by the Board, and adopt rules regarding requirements for intern development as a prerequisite for licensure or registration. The act prohibits anything from preventing a person qualified as an intern architect from using the title "intern architect" or any person from aiding or abetting any person, not licensed as required by law, in the practice of architecture in this state. The measure requires every person applying to the Board for an initial license to submit an application accompanied by the fee established in accordance with the rules of the Board, with satisfactory evidence that the person holds an accredited professional degree in architecture or has completed such other education as the Board deems equivalent to an accredited professional degree and with satisfactory evidence that the person has completed such practical training in architectural work as the Board requires and passes a national criminal history records check. If the person does not pass a national criminal history records check, the Board, in its sole discretion, to determine if the license is to be issued, renewed, reinstated, rejected or revoked. The measure allows the Board to exempt from written examination an applicant who holds a certificate issued by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards or its successor, or a person the Board decides is qualified and competent by equivalent standards for architects and creates the Equivalent Education and Training Standards for Architects Table "A" that supersedes all previous tables of equivalents and establishes its requirements. Authorizes the Board, in its sole discretion, to determine if a license is to be issued, renewed, reinstated or rejected for a person who does not pass a national criminal history records check upon the application for a license to practice architecture in this state. The measure requires a partnership, firm, association, corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership desiring to practice architecture or landscape architecture to file with the Board an application for a certificate of authority for the office location performing work on Oklahoma projects on a form approved by the Board which shall include the names, addresses, state of licensure and license number of all partners, directors, officers, members, managers or principals of the partnership, firm, association, corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership legally responsible for the entity's practice. The act authorizes the Board to suspend, to revoke or refuse to renew a license, registration, certificate of authority or certificate of title issued by it when the holder thereof has been found guilty of a violation of a provision of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act or the rules of the Board, provided that such a person or entity has been afforded the opportunity for a formal hearing carried out as described under the current Administrative Procedures Act or settled by the Board with a consent order or final order approved by the Board or fails to pass the national criminal history records checks for initial, reciprocal, reinstating or renewing any license, registration, certificate of authority or certificate of title. The measure finds any person or entity who has been determined by the Board to have violated any provision of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act or any rule or order issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act may be liable for an administrative fine not exceeding $100,000 per violation or the amount of commissions and/or fees paid to the person and/or entity for specific associated project(s) plus the legal costs incurred by the Board to prosecute the case. The act sets guidelines to govern design competitions in this state and clarifies language related to the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act. The measure finds it is not a requirement to make exhaustive or continuous on-site observations to check the quality or quantity of work nor is it intended that the architect be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the work. The bill requires responsibilities set forth herein regarding Construction Contract Administration to be carried out by an architect duly licensed in this state or by persons employed by or under the responsible control of the architect. The Act finds all use groups in this section are defined by the codes currently adopted by the Uniform Building Code Commission of the State of Oklahoma and the construction, addition or alteration of a building of any size with an occupancy greater than 50 or with more than two stories in height as determined in accordance with the codes will be subject to the provisions of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act. The measure exempts the construction, addition or alteration of a building no more than two stories in height that is a one and two family dwellings and buildings as covered by the codes consisting of three or fewer townhouse units of any size or height from the provisions of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act. The measure requires the renovation or alteration of building where the original Code Use Group was exempt to remain exempt from the provisions of the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act if the Code Use Group does not change. The measure prohibits any license from being issued to any person to practice architecture in this state unless the person is the holder of an accredited professional degree in architecture or has met the equivalent standards set forth in the Broadly Experienced Architect (BEA) or Broadly Experienced Foreign Architect (BEFA) programs administered by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards and to have had such practical training as the Board, by rule, to deem appropriate and has paid to the Board a fee as prescribed by the rules of the Board plus the actual cost of any examination given by the Board, and upon meeting the requirements and payment of an initial fee as may be prescribed by the rules of the Board, the Board will issue to the applicant a license which will authorize the applicant to engage in the practice of architecture in this state. The measure authorizes the Board to issue temporary licenses while qualifying the applicant for three months from the date the application process was begun. The act requires any individual licensee or registrant to be limited to one issuance of a temporary license. The measure requires the examination for a license to practice architecture in this state to be administered by computerized method, except Board administered exams. The act requires that all papers received by the Board relating to an application for a license, to an examination and to the issuance of a license shall be electronically retained by the Board and originals destroyed and that if it was incomplete, it will be retained for one year from the date of submission and then destroyed. The act finds that the agency's computer software, hardware and programming codes, documents and all other related issues and documents are not a public record, nor open to the public and shall be confidential property of the agency and State of Oklahoma and confidential records will only be open and available to other governmental entities and/or vendors used by the agency and State of Oklahoma for processing agency, state and/or government business and vendors used by the agency, state or government entities are still covered by this confidential statute. The act allows a person to sign or seal technical submissions prepared by another architect registered in any United States jurisdiction if the signing and sealing architect has reviewed the other architect's technical submissions, integrated the technical submissions into the architect's technical submissions, and the other architect's technical submissions are prototypical plans. The measure requires the Oklahoma licensed architect to assume full responsibility for the documents as if fully prepared by or under the Oklahoma licensed architect's responsible control in applying his or her seal. The measure prohibits an architect, at any time, to competitively bid or hold a financial interest in any entity competitively bidding for a contract for the reparation, alteration or construction of project for which he has prepared the plans and specifications unless the contract is a design/build contract for an all encompass fee only. The measure prohibits anything contained in the Oklahoma Licensed Architects, Landscape Architects and Registered Interior Designers Act from being construed as precluding an architect or engineer from performing services included within the definition of "landscape architecture" when incidental, meaning less than ten percent of the total project cost, to the performance of his or her normal practice as an architect or engineer. The act authorizes the Board to, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to issue, renew, reinstate or revoke a license for landscape architect. The bill authorizes the Board to issue temporary licenses while qualifying an applicant for a maximum of three months from the date the application process is begun. The measure prohibits the license of a landscape architect from permitting the practice of architecture, engineering or land surveying, except that which is incidental, meaning less than 10 percent of the total cost of the project, to the practice of landscape architecture.

SB0804

Paraphrase: SB0804, by Sen. Bryce Marlatt, R-Woodward and Rep. Mike Jackson, R-Enid, creates the Oklahoma Affordable Housing Act. The bill defines allocation year, eligibility statement, federal low-income housing tax credit, Oklahoma Affordable Housing tax credit, qualified investor, state low-income housing tax credit and other terms used in the bill. The measure states that Oklahoma projects placed in service after December 31, 2013 are available for tax credits. The bill proposes that the state tax credits created be available to a project that is equal to that of the federal low-income housing tax credits for a qualified Oklahoma project. The bill proposes the total Oklahoma Affordable Housing tax credits made available equal the annual federal low-income housing tax credits for one year available to the state for the same allocation year. The measure states that a taxpayer owning an interest in the project is allowed a state tax credit if the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency issues an eligibility statement for the project. The bill states that the Oklahoma Affordable Housing tax credits may be used in payment of the taxpayer's state tax payments. The bill proposes that an insurance company claiming a credit against state premiums tax or retaliatory tax not be required to pay any additional tax under Oklahoma statutes. The bill proposes that the credit be authorized but not be used to reduce the tax liability of the taxpayer to less than zero. The bill states the credit claimed not be used in a taxable year but it may be carried back to the prior three years or carried forward five subsequent taxable years. The measure proposes that the owner of the project be eligible for credit authorized by the bill to submit an eligibility statement from the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency. The bill states that in case of failure to attach the statement, no credit will be allowed for that year until the documents are provided to the Tax Commission. The bill states that according to federal law if credits taken are to be recaptured during the first ten years after a project is placed in service than the project will also be required to recapture a portion of any state credits authorized in the bill. The bill allows the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency or the Oklahoma Tax Commission to request additional documents. The bill allows the Act to undergo a review every five years by a nine-person committee, with committee appointments defined in the bill.

The bill requires the exam include test questions covering professional competencies and skills on a variety of roofing structures, materials and systems, best practices, and provisions on Oklahoma law and construction codes. The bill provides that once a commercial roofing contractor has successfully passed the examination, or been allowed an exemption from the examination as provided by law, the registrar will issue a commercial roofer endorsement on the roofing contractor registration upon receipt of a $100 fee that will be valid for three years..

The bill provides that any commercial roofing contractor who fails to complete and submit the necessary proof of participation in the required continuing education course within the time prescribed will have their commercial roofer endorsement revoked by the registrar for one year, after which the commercial roofing contractor may reapply to retake the commercial roofer examination upon payment of the required fees. The bill establishes the renewal fee for a commercial roofer endorsement shall be $50.00 and be submitted to the registrar with the proof of participation in the required continuing education courses.

The bill establishes the registrar is authorized to permit nonresident roofing contractors to solicit and do business in this state under a temporary roofing contractor registration upon proper application, approval and payment of a fee of $100 when a state of emergency is declared by the Governor.

The bill establishes certain testing requirements. The bill provides that the commercial roofing examination fee covering professional competencies, skills and best practices will be$150 and that the examination fee covering the portion of the examination on Oklahoma law and construction codes shall be $50.
