OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – In March the Oklahoma House passed House Bill 3749 by Rep. Jim Grego, R-Wilburton, that would create a revolving fund to restart the prison rodeo at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.
As of Tuesday, House Bill 3749 has been placed on pause after Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Steven Harpe informed the legislative panel his agency was no longer pursuing an $8.3 million appropriation this session.
