Alien ownership of land; defining terms. Emergency.

SB 114 clarifies land ownership rights for foreign nationals in Oklahoma. It defines "bona fide resident" as a lawful permanent U.S. resident (green card holder), allowing them to buy and hold land under the same terms as Oklahoma citizens while residing in the state. Existing alien landowners retain their property, and new alien residents must maintain residency; if they leave, they have five years to sell their land. The bill updates outdated language and makes statutory terms gender-neutral, with no new restrictions on land ownership.
