Senate votes to use marijuana tax for school buildings

The Oklahoma Senate has narrowly approved legislation that would use marijuana taxes to fund building repair and construction in school districts with very little local property tax funding.


Senate Bill 1758, by Stanislawski, would deposit a share of taxes collected from marijuana sales into the State Public Common School Building Equalization Fund. That fund was created by Oklahoma voters decades ago to assist schools with infrastructure challenges but has seldom been provided funding.
