WHEREAS, Higher education is essential to many careers in both today’s and
tomorrow’s economy; and
WHEREAS, Higher education requires an extensive commitment of time and money by
the students; and
WHEREAS, The Oklahoma legislature has always been supportive of improving the
success rate of higher education students; and
WHEREAS, A summons to jury duty of a student in a higher education institute
requires a student to, at minimum, miss five (5) days of class and

scholarship eligibility;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 45TH
OKLAHOMA INTERCOLLIEGIATE LEGISLATURE:
THAT
The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature requests the Oklahoma
legislature to pass legislation exempting students of higher education from
jury duty during an academic semester for which that student is currently

institute of higher education in the State of Oklahoma be exempted from
jury duty upon request from the student.
THAT
Students enrolled for the amount of hours equivalent to full time
enrollment as an undergraduate or graduate student during any 16 or eight
week in any public or private institute of higher education outside of the
State of Oklahoma shall be exempted from jury duty on request of the
student.
THAT
A copy of this resolution shall be distributed to the Oklahoma State
Regents for Higher Education and the Oklahoma State Legislature for

with some materials never being used at all; and
WHEREAS, Students who resell their textbooks through bookstores generally are only
able to exchange the book for less than half of the original price; and
WHEREAS, Increased availability of required texts through publicly available means
would reduce many students' need to purchase those texts;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 45TH
OKLAHOMA INTERCOLLIEGIATE LEGISLATURE:
THAT
All Oklahoma institutions of higher education be encouraged to maintain a
copy of required course texts in the libraries on their campuses.

Section 1.
This act shall be known as the “Delinquent Internment and Extermination
(D.I.E)” Act of 2013.
Section 2.
DEFINITIONS
Youthful Offender Act of 1998: Upon conviction of a crime as a youthful
offender, the court may impose a sentence not to exceed the amount possible
for adult criminal conviction or 10 years, whichever is less. A special review
hearing is required prior to the youth reaching 18 years of age where the
court has several options available, including discharging the case,
modifying the juvenile disposition, or transferring the youth to the custody
of the Department of Corrections to serve the remainder of the Youthful
Offender sentence.
Juvenile offenders, ages 13 or 14, who are charged with murder in the first
degree will be automatically treated as an adult, unless certified as a youth
offender or juvenile pursuant to the Youthful Offender Act.
A court may defer delinquency proceedings for 180 days for any youth that
has not been previously adjudicated delinquent, is currently charged with a
misdemeanor, submits a guilty plea, and if the youth and their parent or
legal guardian agree to participate in a court-approved alternative program
for first-time offender.

winner of the games will be given a clean record and released from their
juvenile delinquent center and the opportunity to join the Armed Forces of
the United States. Funding for the first year of this project will be siphoned

From the second year forward, the State of Oklahoma will create contracts
with every major television network in Oklahoma to broadcast the event on
an annual basis, splitting revenues from broadcast advertising between
contracted networks and the State. This agreement will use all State-gained
revenues to pay off initial debts and future operating costs for the annual
competition, with all future, excess, State-gained revenues funding the Lead
Individuals to Fantastic Ethics (L.I.F.E.). This program will provide
education and reform to poverty-stricken areas with high rates of crimes
committed by minors.
The location of the games will occur in one of the four corners of Oklahoma
to celebrate the diverse biomes, distinct landscapes, and esoteric cultures of
Oklahoma. The games will rotate every year between the Northwest,
Southwest, Northeast, and Southeast corners of the state.

2. The contestants must be current juveniles in the Oklahoma Juvenile
Delinquent System and have committed a crime greater than or equal to
the charges outlined in the Youthful Offender Act of 1998.
3. The contestants will be picked by using a computer generated random
selection process done by Medtox laboratories.
4. One male and one female will be chosen from each from Juvenile
Delinquent Center in the state of Oklahoma, and then cut down to the
top 12 most violent contestants.
5. Each contestant will be given 6 months to train in whatever skills he/she
thinks will be appropriate for his/her style of fighting.
6. No firearms will be allowed in the fighting arena.
7. The head game-maker of the games will be none other than our own
Governor Scott Chance.
8. The head game-maker will be given the opportunity to choose a
committee of 10 game makers not including himself.

Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature
2nd Session of the 45th Legislature (2013)
House Bill No. ORU-503
By: Craighead (ORU)
AS INTRODUCED
An act relating to potential future parents; providing short title; providing for definitions;
providing for codification; providing for penalties; and providing an effective date.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Section 1.
This act shall be known as the “Snip and Tied” Act of 2013.
Section 2.
DEFINITIONS
A. IQ Test: These tests will be done in Terman style scores, which are
graded as follows:
140 and over Genius or near genius
120-140
Very superior intelligence
110-120
Superior intelligence
90-110
Normal or average intelligence
80-90
Dullness
70-80
Borderline deficiency
50-69
Moron
20-49
Imbecile
below 20
Idiot
B. Laparoscopic sterilization: One of the two most common methods of
having your “tubes tied”. During this procedure, a small incision is
made to allow for a laparoscope (a small, telescope-like instrument
with a light) to be inserted. This allows for the surgeon to see the
fallopian tubes. The surgeon closes the fallopian tubes by using rings,
clamps, clips, or by sealing them shut with an electric current
(electrocautery). Then, the incision is closed. A tubal laparoscopy
procedure takes about 30 minutes. There is minimal scarring, and most
women can go home the same day as the procedure.
C. Vasectomy: The vas deferens from each testicle is clamped, cut, or
otherwise sealed. This prevents sperm from mixing with the semen
that is ejaculated from the penis. An egg cannot be fertilized when
there are no sperm in the semen. The testicles continue to produce
sperm, but the sperm are reabsorbed by the body. (This also happens to
sperm that are not ejaculated after a while, regardless of whether you
have had a vasectomy.) Because the tubes are blocked before the
seminal vesicles and prostate, you still ejaculate about the same
amount of fluid.
D. Obamacare: Healthcare reform bill (HR 3200).

testing centers. This test will be administered by the school that the child
attends. The Department of Education will enforce the testing by all
schools, public and private. It will be administered along with the
standardized testing required per school year. All costs will be covered by
sex. Any child that is home-schooled must take the test at the public
school in their district. All costs subsequent from the homeschooled
child’s testing must be covered by the homeschooled child or the
homeschooled child’s family because of their attempt to “stick it to the
man” by homeschooling their child.
Section 4.

a vasectomy.
All females who receive an IQ score of 80 or below will be required to

By: Kouts (UCO)
AS INTRODUCED
An act relating to time traveling ethics; providing short title; providing for codification
and providing an effective date.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Section 1.
This act shall be known as the “Time Travel Ethics” Act of 2013.
Section 2.
DEFINITIONS:
A. Time Travel: Traveling by any means (including such means as
T.A.R.D.I.S., DeLorean, Starship Enterprise, Future Gadget Numero
Eight, ley lines, cardboard box, alien spaceship, vortex converter, etc.)
which physically transports the traveler to a former or future time.
B. Guardian: A time travel guide, whether human or alien, certified by
the State of Oklahoma as being fit to lead time travel expeditions, who
is exceptionally experienced in time travel. These guides know which
specific actions translate to which specific changes in the space- time
continuum. Guardians are highly ethical, and know how to avoid
creating major butterfly effects, especially those which would cause
mass chaos to future humanity.
C. Time Travel Ethics Course and Evaluation: A course which trains the
potential traveler to recognize patterns of interactions which cause
shifts in the space- time vortex. This class teaches the student how to
avoid negative or major shifts in history while they travel, and focuses
on the ethics of time travel (mainly centering on allowing history to
take its course without significant interference.) The course trains the
traveler how to engage with history as an observer only, thereby
limiting the amount of interference created in history. At the end of the
course, a test is given, evaluating whether the traveler is mature
enough to undertake such a journey. The test is given on a pass/fail
basis.
D. Time Travel Science Unit: This agency monitors all time travel and
butterfly effects with the goal of minimizing major changes (whether
negative or positive) to the historical timeline. One section of this
agency includes a specialized police force which is trained in the
pursuit of illegal time travelers.
Section 3.

All persons who engage in time travel must be accompanied by an
experienced guardian of time travel certified by the State of Oklahoma.
Additionally, travelers must take the Time Traveling Ethics Course,
earning a passing grade on the evaluation. If these conditions are met, the
traveler must apply for a time-traveling certificate at the Department of
Transportation, which will allow them to travel anywhere within
previously explored time. If the traveler wishes to travel outside of these
previously explored times or dimensions, they must apply to become a
certified guardian.
Section 4.
Time travel will be overseen by the Department of Transportation and will
comply with Title 16 Legislation.
Section 5.
Travel will be strictly enforced by the Department of Transportation’s
Time Travel Science Unit (TTSU). If it is discovered that unlicensed time
travel is occurring, the TTSU will contact the Oklahoma State Police
Department, which will then put out a warrant for the arrest of the
traveler(s). If a butterfly effect is detected, the State TTSU Police Force
will follow the time traveler(s) trail and arrest them wherever they have
traveled. Bail must not fall under five-hundred thousand dollars
($500,000.00), but must not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000.00)
Section 5.
This act shall become effective 90 days after passage and approval.

If a driver in such a vehicle is caught using the far left lane without the
intent on utilizing a left exit, then he or she will be given a five-hundred
dollar ($500) fine for the first offense. For the second offense, a driver
will be given a one-thousand dollar ($1000) ticket, and for the third
offense, that driver’s license will be suspended for a period of three (3)
months. Drivers can choose to contest their tickets.
Section 4.
Funding for the additional signage necessary to implement this new law
will be taken out of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation budget
solely to place signs where needed and for maintenance, if necessary.

THE GIST OF THE PROPOSITION IS AS FOLLOWS:
This measure amends and adds sections to the Oklahoma Constitution and adds
new sections to the Oklahoma Statutes to end the political redistricting process
commonly known as ‘Gerrymandering’. Under current law, sitting legislators draw the
boundaries for their own political districts behind closed doors. In place of
‘Gerrymander’ redistricting, the passage of this measure facilitates redistricting via a
neutral body under the guide of detailed criteria. An Independent Redistricting
Commission shall be formed once every ten years, consisting of registered Oklahoma
voters without a vested political interest in the outcome. The Independent Redistricting
Commission shall draw district lines for the State House, State Senate, Congressional
House, and Congressional Senate districts. Meetings of the Independent Redistricting
Commission shall be open to the public as to ensure transparency and fairness.
SHALL THESE AMENDMENTS BE APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE?
YES, FOR THE AMENDMENTS
NO, AGAINST THE AMENDMENTS
Section 5.
The Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives, immediately after the
passage of this resolution, shale file and prepare one copy thereof,
including the Ballot Title set forth in Section 4 hereof, with the Secretary
of State and one copy with the Attorney General.
