A proposed bill that would see a 1 percent surtax placed on violent video games sold in Oklahoma has been defeated. Proposed by House Rep William Fourkiller, the new bill, HB 2696, would mean purchases of games rated Teen, Mature, and Adult Only by the ESRB would be subject to an extra 1 percent tax on top of the current price tag. Money generated from this ‘Violent Game Tax' would have gone towards Oklahoma's Childhood Outdoor Education Revolving Fund to fight obesity and the the Bullying Prevention Revolving Fund.
