Garrett Eastman on 24 Feb 12The Oklahoma House Revenue and Tax Subcommittee has rejected proposed legislation that would have placed a 1 percent surtax on all games rated T (Teen) or higher by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The bill, first proposed by state rep Will Fourkiller (D) earlier this month, was designed to discourage purchase of violent games and fund new programs focused on childhood outdoor education and bullying prevention.
