HB 1561 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Public finance; Foreign Adversary Divestment Act of 2025; findings; definitions; investments; pension systems; liability; immunity; effective date.

HB 1561, the "Foreign Adversary Divestment Act of 2025," requires Oklahoma's public funds - including state pension systems, university endowments, and local government investment accounts - to stop holding investments tied to countries designated as "foreign adversaries" by the U.S. State Department. It prohibits these funds from owning shares in companies based in such countries, state-owned enterprises of those nations, or banks operating primarily in them. Funds must fully divest from these holdings by January 1, 2028, reducing residual investments to less than 0.05% of total assets. The law applies directly to state-managed financial assets, aiming to align public investments with U.S. national security designations.
