Join AARP Oklahoma at Senior Day at the Capitol on March 3. You'll have the opportunity to meet your lawmakers and share your views on important legislation.
The discussion will focus on AARP’s continued advocacy efforts at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission regarding utility rate hikes for OG&E and PSO customers.
House Bill 3318, by Rep. Steve Bashore (R-Miami) and Sen. Bill Coleman (R-Ponca City), proactively prevents and prohibits unscrupulous brokers from misleading homeowners into signing decades-long agreements that give the real estate brokers the exclusive right to sell the homes.
The average OG&E residential customer could see their monthly bills increase by $19.02, or nearly 14 percent, if regulators approve a rate change request.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
AARP Oklahoma State Director Sean Voskuhl issued a statement regarding PSO’s proposed $294 million rate and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s subsequent order which was finalized November 3, 2023.
