Public safety; prohibiting state agencies from certain use of biotechnology. Effective date.
Senate Bill 552 prohibits Oklahoma state agencies receiving federal or state funds from using or procuring biotechnology equipment or services from "biotechnology companies of concern." These companies are defined as entities designated by the federal government as controlled by a foreign adversary and posing a national security risk due to their multiomic data collection research. State agencies are also barred from contracting with any entity that uses or procures such prohibited biotechnology. The bill's provisions will take effect upon the enactment of a corresponding federal law.
