SB 893 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 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 entities from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea (designated as "foreign adversaries") from purchasing, holding, renting, or acquiring agricultural land or critical infrastructure in Oklahoma. It defines "critical infrastructure" to include energy systems, water supplies, telecommunications, transportation networks (like airports and highways), and cybersecurity systems. The bill requires foreign principals to register ownership, mandates the sale or divestiture of existing holdings within specific timeframes, and grants the Attorney General authority to enforce these rules and pursue legal action. This directly affects foreign-owned businesses or governments seeking to invest in Oklahoma's agricultural or infrastructure sectors.

Floor (House) Floor (Senate) · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was converted from a House version to a Senate floor version, resulting in significant formatting changes and a shift in the bill's title. The most substantive change is the renaming of the act from the 'Military Installation & Military Operating Areas and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2025' to the 'Military Installation and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2025,' removing the specific reference to 'Military Operating Areas.' Additionally, the House version included a 'Committee Substitute' label indicating prior amendments, which was removed in this Senate version.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed slightly by removing the explicit mention of 'Military Operating Areas' from the official title, though the detailed text of the definitions and prohibitions appears to remain largely consistent with the House version.
TITLE

The official name of the act was changed to remove the phrase 'Military Operating Areas.'

TECHNICAL

The header was updated to reflect the Senate Floor Version instead of the House Floor Version, and the 'Committee Substitute' status was removed.

Page numbers and footer text were updated to reflect the Senate version (e.g., 'SB893 SFLR').
