What is an interim study?
Any legislator may request explorations into policy topics called interim studies, though not all requests are granted. These studies take place during the time between the two regular sessions. Studies are intended to gather research on the requested topic during public legislative committee meetings. The research is gathered from speakers, or experts, selected by the legislator(s) who requested the interim study (on rare occasions, the committee chair may tap a speaker). Interim studies rarely generate formal reports or recommendations, but their work can guide future legislation. [Metriarch Legislative Glossary, OK Policy]
Just like with bills, Metriarch will be keeping tabs on all the interim studies. However, we have indicated the ones we will be paying particular attention. Our assessments are based on a combination of title, author, news coverage, and legislative history of the topic. Some titles may be too broad to mark them as of now, however we are still watching as they are updated. Check back in with us to catch new developments.
All information is taken from the House and Senate websites. Approved studies may or may not be heard.
