Resolution 31, introduced by Guthrie, directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution for public approval or rejection. This amendment seeks to modify Section 1 of Article XXII, which currently prohibits non-citizens from owning land in Oklahoma. The proposed changes clarify that no alien or person who is not a U.S. citizen shall acquire land, and it mandates that any non-citizen who inherits or otherwise acquires real estate must dispose of it within five years, with the potential for escheat to the state. However, the amendment includes exceptions for Native Americans born in the U.S. and for lands currently owned by non-citizens.

The resolution also outlines the ballot title for the proposed amendment, which will inform voters that the measure aims to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to prohibit non-citizens from owning land in the state. Voters will be asked to approve or reject this proposal in an upcoming election. Following the passage of the resolution, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate is tasked with filing the resolution and ballot title with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
