OKLAHOMA CITY — Several state senators are conducting business without an office during this week's special legislative session while renovation of the 100-year-old State Capitol continues.
Office furniture lined Senate hallways on Wednesday as legislators returned to the Capitol for the second day of a special session to address changes to the state's laws about how lawsuits are filed and litigated in Oklahoma.
Four senators were moved to vacant office space on the sixth floor of the building, while several others are sharing space with Senate staff on the third floor.
Democratic Sen. Charles Wyrick of Fairland spent time Wednesday working in a small office and sharing a desk with his executive assistant.
Several House and Senate offices are being remodeled with $7 million the Legislature appropriated for Capitol upgrades and renovations.
