Senate Administration Staff

The Administrative Services Group (ASG) is responsible for reviewing, approving, and processing all Senate payrolls, travel claims, and vendor payments as well as all matters related to group insurance, retirement, and employee benefits.  Additionally, they reconcile all financial transactions and publish a monthly financial report for use in developing and monitoring the Senate’s operating budget.  The ASG works closely with external auditors in the compilation and interpretation of all Senate financial records used to generate the annual audit report.

The Central Services Group orders supplies, distributes office supplies and furniture, and maintains an ongoing inventory of all supplies/furniture/fixtures that are the property of the Oklahoma State Senate. This group is also responsible for all incoming and outgoing mail for the Senate. The Bill Distribution group provides duplication services to state agencies, lobbyists, and the public wishing to receive copies of legislation that is filed.

The Meeting/Office Services Group is responsible for providing daily maintenance of the offices and meeting rooms as well as preparing the meeting rooms for use.

The Message Center receives incoming calls and directs them to the appropriate office, along with taking and distributing messages. 

The Senate “Page Program” enlists high school students to assist in the operations of the Senate during the legislative session. The Senate “Intern Program” utilizes college students who wish to obtain public policy experience and college credit through an internship with the State Senate.
