HB 2184 requires Oklahoma public universities to disclose gifts and contracts from foreign governments designated as "adversaries" by the U.S. State Department. This includes reporting details like amount, purpose, source country, and beneficiary for all such funding received since 2020, with ongoing biannual updates starting in 2025. The Oklahoma State Regents must maintain a public website for these disclosures, covering both direct funding and indirect transactions through intermediaries. The law applies to all state educational institutions, including universities and colleges receiving foreign adversary funding.
