HB 1561, the "Foreign Adversary Divestment Act of 2025," requires Oklahoma's public pension systems, university endowments, and local government investment funds to sell all holdings in entities tied to countries designated as "foreign adversaries" by the U.S. State Department. The bill prohibits investments in companies owned by such countries, state-owned enterprises in those nations, or companies domiciled there, with full divestment mandated by January 1, 2028. Affected funds must identify and eliminate these holdings, reducing prohibited investments to less than 0.05% of total assets. The law applies specifically to state-managed funds, including public retirement systems and public university endowments, and defines "foreign adversaries" as U.S.-designated hostile nations.
