State government; creating the Judea and Samaria Act. Effective date.

SB 1208, the "Judea and Samaria Act," prohibits Oklahoma state agencies from using the term "West Bank" to refer to Judea and Samaria in official materials. It defines "Judea and Samaria" as land controlled by Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War (south and north of Jerusalem, respectively) and specifies that "state agency" includes all departments and commissions. The bill bars agencies from creating or using materials that label this territory as the "West Bank" with state funds, though agency heads may request a waiver by explaining the state's best interest to the Governor and legislative leaders. This policy change directly affects all state agencies producing official communications, rules, or press materials.
