The Oklahoma State Protection from Terrorist Organizations Act aims to safeguard the residents and public resources of Oklahoma by preventing state contracts, grants, and property transactions from being associated with organizations linked to terrorism. The Act establishes a framework for designating organizations as "designated terrorist organizations" based on recommendations from the Department of Public Safety, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the Attorney General. It prohibits state agencies from contracting with these organizations and restricts them from holding real property, with the Attorney General empowered to seek legal remedies for violations. The Act emphasizes a conduct-based, religion-neutral, and viewpoint-neutral approach, ensuring that protected speech and association are not regulated unless unlawful conduct is involved.

Additionally, the Act allows designated organizations to petition for reconsideration of their status after 24 months or sooner if circumstances change. It includes definitions for key terms such as "controlled entity," "material support," and "terrorism," aligning them with existing Oklahoma statutes. The provisions of the Act will take effect on November 1, 2026, and it is designed to be implemented without creating new criminal offenses while ensuring compliance through vendor certifications and audit procedures.
