Chamber Top Priorities Passed by Oklahoma Legislature

Moving the Oklahoma Medical Examiners Office to Edmond and revisions to workers compensation were the two top legislative priorities for the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce for this legislative session. Both measures passed both the Senate and House and now await the Governor's signature.
 
Revisions to worker compensation are estimated to save Oklahoma employers $60 million. "These savings benefit Edmond small businesses helping to reduce expenses during a tight economy", said Ken Moore, President & CEO of the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce.
 
"Moving the Medical Examiners office to Edmond helps to expand a core business in our community" said Moore. "We are grateful to Mayor Patrice Douglas and members of the Oklahoma Legislature for their leadership in making this important priority for Edmond a reality pending the Governor's signature".
 
"We know this was a difficult session for the Legislature. We salute Senators Lamb and Jolley and Representatives Miller, Moore, McDaniel, Cooksey and Murphey for their leadership" concluded Moore.
