Governor officially calls for special session

OKLAHOMA CITY — Governor Mary Fallin signed an executive order Friday calling for a special session on September 25 for state lawmakers to address the budget shortfall.

“Lawmakers need to come together quickly to fill this fiscal year’s budget hole so our citizens can be assured they will receive necessary core services,” said Governor Fallin.

The state’s 2018 fiscal year budget has a shortfall of $215 million.

Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz, R-Altus, reacted to the news.

"The Oklahoma Senate is up to the challenge and is ready to get to work,” said Schulz.
