SB212 enacts that individuals who are not citizens of the United States are prohibited from directly or indirectly owning land in the state.
The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB212 on May 19, 2023 by a vote of 40 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this is a great first step in preserving state sovereignty. Ultimately, allowing foreigners from countries that reject American values, such as Communist China, to purchase mass amounts of land is a sure way to lose national and state sovereignty. This also compromises national security and impedes on citizens’ rights.
