This bill establishes a new law that prohibits institutions of higher education within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education from using state funds to provide scholarships, grants, tuition aid, or discounted tuition to foreign national students from countries designated by the United States Department of State as countries of particular concern. This prohibition will take effect starting with the 2026-2027 academic year.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will be responsible for promulgating rules to implement these provisions. The act is set to become effective on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval to ensure the preservation of public peace, health, or safety.
