DOC re-integration program bills seek to improve offender success and public safety

As work continues to reform the state’s criminal justice system, Sen. Adam Pugh has filed two bills to ensure inmates are better prepared to re-enter society.  The Edmond Republican said his plans will improve community relations, protect public safety and lower recidivism rates by providing offenders with a plan of action and the tools needed to become independent, productive citizens.

Legislation to provide a tax deduction for STABLE account contributions is filed
OKLAHOMA CITY – State Sen. Adam Pugh, R-Edmond, has filed legislation to give a tax deduction to individuals and families contributing to an Oklahoma STABLE account, which is made possible by the federal Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) program.

Oklahoma STABLE accounts are tax-advantaged savings accounts for eligible individuals with disabilities. They have similar features to normal banking accounts but allow disabled individuals to save and invest money without losing eligibility for public benefits programs like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income.
