Oklahoma SJR31 proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting non-U.S. citizens from owning land in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma SJR31 seeks to amend Section 1 of Article XXII of the Oklahoma Constitution to prohibit non-U.S. citizens from acquiring or owning land in the state. The amendment mandates that the Legislature enact laws requiring non-U.S. citizens and their heirs to dispose of any real estate acquired in Oklahoma within five years, with the property subject to escheat or forfeiture to the state. This restriction does not apply to Native Americans. The proposal will be put to a public vote, with the Secretary of State responsible for organizing the referendum.
