Int Text

Oklahoma SB1208 prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" to refer to Judea and Samaria in official materials.

Oklahoma SB1208, known as the Judea and Samaria Act, mandates that state agencies refrain from using the term "West Bank" to describe Judea and Samaria in any official government materials. This prohibition applies unless the executive head of a state agency determines it is in the state's best interest to use the term and submits a waiver to the Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The act defines "Judea and Samaria" as the land controlled by Israel from Jordan during the Six-Day War in 1967.
