29th Oklahoma Legislature

The Twenty-ninth Oklahoma Legislature was a meeting of the legislative branch of the government of Oklahoma, composed of the Oklahoma Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The state legislature met in regular session at the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City from January 8 to June 14, 1963, during the first term of Governor Henry Bellmon.[1] This was the last state legislature with members representing counties under the old system of districting; a new system was created by a court order that forced Oklahoma to equalize representation.[2]
