AI Summary

  • Prohibits Oklahoma state agencies and political subdivisions from contracting with state-owned enterprises of foreign adversaries, foreign adversary companies, and federally banned corporations for goods or services

  • Defines foreign adversaries as China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela (Maduro regime), and Syria, plus any entity the Governor designates

  • Requires companies submitting bids to certify they are not prohibited entities; false certification triggers a civil penalty of $250,000 or twice the contract amount (whichever is greater), contract termination, and a 60-month ban from state contracting

  • Allows exceptions when no reasonable alternative exists and the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (or political subdivision procurement authority) pre-approves, determining non-procurement poses greater risk than the procurement itself

  • Takes effect immediately upon passage as an emergency measure
