The Judea and Samaria Act establishes new legal provisions within the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically defining the terms "Judea and Samaria" and "official government material." The act prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" in any official government materials when referring to Judea and Samaria, which is defined as the land controlled by Israel following the Six-Day War in 1967. This prohibition aims to ensure that state communications align with the terminology established by the act.
An exception to this prohibition is provided, allowing the executive head of a state agency to waive the restriction if deemed in the best interest of the state. In such cases, the executive head must submit a written explanation to the Governor and legislative leaders within thirty days of the determination. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
