Senate Pro Tem Treat Releases Statement on Delayed Implementation of Parental Choice Program

OKLAHOMA CITY – Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, today expressed frustration after the Oklahoma Tax Commission delayed the application start date for the Parental Choice Tax Credit.  

The application start has been moved from today, Friday, Dec. 1 to Wednesday, Dec. 6.   

“While I am agitated that the enrollment has been delayed, it is important to get it right to ensure fairness for all Oklahoma children looking to get the best education possible,” Pro Tem Treat said. “While everyone knew undertaking a project of this size and magnitude would have different challenges, the Tax Commission must do whatever they can to provide parents and their children the best path forward.”
