Economic development; creating the Reindustrialize Oklahoma Act of 2025; investment rebate program; creating the ROA-25 Revolving Fund and the ROA-25 Beneficiary Revolving Fund.
HB 2781, the Reindustrialize Oklahoma Act of 2025 (ROA-25), creates a new economic development program offering rebates to qualifying manufacturing businesses. It requires applicants to commit to $2 billion in capital investments and create at least 700 new jobs in the first year (rising to 1,000+ annually), targeting businesses in manufacturing sectors (NAICS 31-33). The Oklahoma Department of Commerce administers the program, disbursing rebates from a dedicated fund (ROA-25 Beneficiary Revolving Fund) after verifying job creation and capital spending. The bill prohibits recipients from also claiming other state incentives like the Quality Jobs Program for the same project. The act was approved by the Governor on May 28, 2025.
