SB1582

Oklahoma SB1582 amends alien land ownership laws, defining terms and modifying exceptions.

Oklahoma SB1582 amends the state's alien land ownership laws by defining key terms and modifying exceptions. It specifies that "bona fide resident" means a lawful permanent resident of the United States, and "lawful permanent resident" means a foreign national granted permanent residency. The act declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The amendment ensures the law does not apply to current alien landowners or those who become bona fide residents, providing a five-year window for those who cease to be bona fide residents.
