(Oklahoma City-AP) -- The state Senate passed a bill Tuesday to give let businesses that invest in Oklahoma pay only half of their capital gains taxes.

The measure now goes to a joint conference committee.

Also Tuesday, Governor Brad Henry signed a bill making the Oklahoma Rose the official state flower.

Senator Gilmer Capps says many think mistletoe is the state flower, but it's actually the state floral emblem.

The Oklahoma Rose is a hybrid developed at Oklahoma State University. Those fond of the flower say its deep crimson represents the blood that was shed when the Five Civilized Tribes were moved to Oklahoma.
