SB 893 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Property and critical infrastructure; creating the Military Installation and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2025. Effective date.

SB 893, the Military Installation and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2025, prohibits foreign governments and companies from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea (designated as "foreign adversaries") from owning or acquiring agricultural land or property near military bases in Oklahoma. It requires owners of such property near military installations to sell or divest within a specified timeframe and mandates registration for foreign entities seeking to operate critical infrastructure. The bill defines "critical infrastructure" broadly to include energy, water, telecommunications, transportation systems, and cybersecurity assets, and prohibits foreign adversaries from entering agreements involving these systems. It also creates penalties for noncompliance and grants the Attorney General authority to enforce these provisions.
