State government; creating the Oklahoma Foreign Agents Registration Act; prescribing requirements to register as a foreign agent; providing for enforcement. Effective date.

SB 960 creates Oklahoma's Foreign Agents Registration Act, requiring individuals or organizations acting on behalf of foreign governments or entities to register with the state. It directly affects "agents of a foreign principal" engaging in political activities within Oklahoma, such as lobbying state officials or soliciting funds for foreign interests. Key provisions mandate registration, detailed filing of statements, proper labeling of materials, and record maintenance, while exempting bona fide news organizations meeting specific U.S. ownership requirements. The law aims to increase public transparency about foreign influence in state political activities.
