This bill mandates that all state agencies and public schools in Oklahoma are required to purchase only Oklahoma beef, specifically beef that meets the definition of "Oklahoma certified meat" as outlined in existing law. This new requirement will be codified as Section 12101 of Title 74 in the Oklahoma Statutes.
The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, ensuring that the procurement of beef by state entities supports local agriculture and promotes the consumption of Oklahoma-produced meat.
