Alien ownership of land; defining terms. Emergency.

This Oklahoma bill (SB 114) clarifies and updates existing rules about non-citizens owning land. It defines "bona fide resident" as a lawful permanent U.S. resident and specifies that current non-citizen landowners retain their property. The law allows non-citizens who become bona fide residents to own land on the same terms as citizens, but requires them to sell property within five years if they stop living in Oklahoma. The bill makes statutory language gender-neutral and declares an emergency to take effect immediately.
