Senate Bill (SB01) in Oklahoma
Legislative Action/Bill Analysis Research Paper (
1
00 Points)
· Submit a paper analyzing a particular bill either in the state of Oklahoma or state of your choice which is currently under consideration or which has passed in the past year.
·
The bill must in some way be related to nursing practice. The focus of the paper is to report what the measure is all about, not to examine in what stage the bill is now or why the bill was approved, delayed, or defeated in the process.
· The topic though related to nursing can be broad. You may choose a piece of legislation of special interest to you as a nurse. Sometimes defeated bills make for more interesting analysis, but the choice is yours.
· Your paper must be well thought out and clearly expressed in writing. It should be a minimum 4 pages, double-spaced
