networks in a manner that is conduct-based, religion-neutral, and
viewpoint-neutral. It is not the intent of the Legislature to
regulate protected speech, belief, or association absent unlawful
conduct.
SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 85.59 of Title 74, unless there
is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. As used in this section:
1. “Controlled entity” means an entity where a designated
terrorist organization, directly or indirectly, exercises beneficial
ownership, management control, or operational direction;
2. “Designated terrorist organization” means any entity that:
a. commits, plans, assists, finances, or directs
terrorism,
b. provides material support for terrorism, or
c. operates as an affiliate, successor, alter ego, or
controlled entity used to evade restrictions under the
provisions of this act;
3. “Material support” means knowingly providing funds,
services, training, personnel, facilities, property, transportation,
communication, or other resources with the intent or knowledge that
such support will facilitate terrorism or related unlawful conduct,
consistent with the provisions of Section 1268.2 of Title 21 of the
Oklahoma Statutes and any other related law; and

4. “Terrorism” has the same meaning as that set forth in
Section 1268.1 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
B. The Governor may designate an organization as a designated
terrorist organization for state administrative purposes upon
written recommendations from the Department of Public Safety, the
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the
Attorney General, supported by an evidentiary record. Such
designation shall be filed with the Secretary of State and published
for public viewing, with sensitive investigate material permitted in
a protected annex.
C. 1. No state agency or state-funded entity shall knowingly
award or renew contracts or grants to a designated terrorist
organization or controlled entity. State agencies and state-funded
entities shall implement vendor or grantee certifications and audit
procedures.
2. The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to
create new criminal offenses.
D. A designated terrorist organization or controlled entity
shall not acquire or hold title to real property in this state
except for court ordered liquidation or disposition. Transfers in
violation of the provisions of this subsection shall be voided by
the Attorney General in a civil action. Individual lawful ownership
shall not be affected, absent proof of agency or controlled entity
status.
