Oklahoma Legislature

What Oklahoma Legislature does

The Oklahoma Legislature is the bicameral state legislature of the State of Oklahoma, constitutionally established in 1907 when Oklahoma became the 46th U.S. state. It consists of the Oklahoma State Senate (48 members) and the Oklahoma House of Representatives (101 members), which jointly operate through the Legislative Service Bureau (LSB). The LSB provides shared administrative, IT, photographic, and fiscal transparency services to both chambers. Key executive personnel include Executive Director Regina Birchum and IT Director Julia Ngo, supported by a small IT and photography team.

The organization's core products are digital legislative information services delivered through the oklegislature.gov portal. These include the Legislative Electronic Notification System (LENS) for email-based bill tracking, Basic and Advanced Bill Search tools, Text of Measures search, interactive Oklahoma Constitution and Statutes browsers, a Find My Legislator tool, live and archived video streaming of Senate and House floor proceedings, and joint committee calendars. The underlying technology comprises a legislative information management system with bill tracking, amendment processing, and legislative history management, maintained by the IT Division. The subsidiary Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency (LOFT) provides budgetary recommendations and state agency program efficiency reviews.

The business model is government-funded through state appropriations; the entity does not generate commercial revenue and provides all services free of charge to Oklahoma citizens. Its go-to-market approach is direct-to-consumer via the official website, email notifications, and live in-person access at the State Capitol Building in Oklahoma City. Primary customer segments are Oklahoma citizens and Oklahoma state agencies, with the international footprint limited to the State of Oklahoma.

Core offering

The Oklahoma Legislature operates a public-facing legislative information platform via oklegislature.gov, offering citizens and state agencies free access to bill tracking (LENS), bill search tools, searchable text of measures, the Oklahoma Constitution and Statutes browsers, Find My Legislator, live and archived streaming of Senate and House proceedings, and committee and joint conference calendars. Supporting these services is the Legislative Service Bureau (LSB), whose three divisions — LOFT, the IT Division, and the Photo Division — provide fiscal transparency reviews, bill tracking system maintenance, and official photography.

Product overview

Oklahoma Legislature operates a multi-component legislative information platform consisting primarily of web-based tools and services for citizens and legislators. The core offering is the Legislative Electronic Notification System (LENS) for bill tracking, combined with bill search tools (Basic and Advanced), Text of Measures search, and Oklahoma Constitution and Statutes browsers. The platform includes live and archived video streaming of Senate and House floor proceedings, calendars for joint committees and conference committees, and a Find My Legislator tool. These services are supported by the Legislative Service Bureau (LSB), which contains three divisions: the Legislative Office of Fiscal Transparency (LOFT) for budgetary analysis, the Information Technology Division for bill tracking systems and network infrastructure, and the Photo Division for official photography. The platform does not use a modular architecture but rather provides discrete, standalone web services under the oklegislature.gov domain.
