SB 1724 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

General provisions; creating the Preserving Oklahoma Values Act of 2026. Emergency.

SB 1724, the "Preserving Oklahoma Values Act of 2026," declares court decisions based partly on foreign law void if they conflict with defined "Judeo-Christian Western rights and values" (including due process, religious freedom, and marriage as defined in Oklahoma law). It also voids contracts or clauses allowing foreign law to govern disputes if that law doesn’t protect those same rights. The bill exempts religious organizations from state court oversight of internal matters (like clergy discipline) and excludes corporations that voluntarily choose foreign law. It directly affects courts, businesses with international contracts, and religious groups operating within Oklahoma.
