Education; creating the Research and Education Protection Act of 2024; providing purpose; effective date; emergency.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the Research, Education, and Government Operations Protection Act of 2024 to regulate foreign influence on Oklahoma's state agencies, K-12 schools, and higher education institutions. It requires these entities to disclose past gifts and contracts from countries designated as hostile or of particular concern by the U.S. Secretary of State and mandates approval for future agreements with such nations. The legislation also creates a designated research integrity office to screen applicants for research positions, restricts the acceptance of certain grants by students and scholars, and prohibits cultural exchange agreements with countries of concern. Additionally, the act directs state universities to prioritize partnerships with allied nations, requires annual reporting on foreign travel to restricted countries, and establishes penalties for failing to comply with these new disclosure and approval requirements.
