State government; creating the Oklahoma Foreign Agents Registration Act; prescribing requirements to register as a foreign agent; providing for enforcement. Effective date.

SB 960 creates the Oklahoma Foreign Agents Registration Act, requiring individuals or entities acting on behalf of foreign governments or political parties within Oklahoma to register with the state. It mandates disclosure of activities, labeling of materials, and record-keeping for those engaging in political activities for foreign principals - such as lobbying state officials or influencing policy - while exempting bona fide news organizations meeting specific US ownership criteria. The law prescribes penalties for non-compliance and assigns enforcement to the Attorney General. Its goal is to increase transparency about foreign influence in Oklahoma’s political sphere.
