SB 219 Providing that the Oklahoma Health Information Exchange Trust (the OHIET) will cease to be effective

House Action: Although this bill passed 6-0 out of the Rules Committee, the Governor, working through the Speakers office, killed this bill.

NOTE: CCCS is the move toward federalizing state school curriculum, the adoption of privacy killing data-gathering technologies, and the implementation of online curricula un-auditable by parents. Despite the nationwide effort to kill the CCCS, OK is advancing this contentious program.

The OHIET is busy implementing the IT infrastructure in OK that makes Obama Care work. It is the other exchange.
