Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Public funds can invest up to 5%

Named public funds and retirement systems may put money into Invest in Oklahoma–approved venture and growth funds. Each entity’s investment is capped at 5% of its rolling three-year assets under management.

Treasurer runs Invest in Oklahoma program

Beginning November 1, 2025, the State Treasurer runs the Invest in Oklahoma program. It lets state entities invest in Oklahoma-based private equity, venture, and growth funds, and make direct company investments when the Oklahoma Constitution allows. The Board sets investment parameters and can exceed them only by a unanimous vote. The Treasurer may place only eligible cash balance amounts. Money in the General Revenue, Revenue Stabilization, Education Reform Revolving, and Rate Preservation funds, constitutionally created funds, funds touched by the Legislature in the past three fiscal years, and most revolving funds are excluded unless the agency and the Board approve. The Treasurer must act prudently, set processes to request and decide proposals, and may issue rules that do not conflict with the Board. The law also adds this authority to the Treasurer’s allowed investments reporting.

Custodial bank and account safeguards

The State Treasurer may set up internal custodial accounts and contract for custodial services to run the program. The Treasurer selects one custodial bank to settle state investment transactions. The bank must have at least $500 million in assets, give electronic access to reports, keep a service agent in Oklahoma if out of state, face annual reviews, and compete at least every five years.

New Invest in Oklahoma oversight board

The Cash Management and Investment Oversight Commission is now the Invest in Oklahoma Board with five members: the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Treasurer, and appointees of the House Speaker and Senate leader. Appointees cannot have business ties to the Treasurer’s Office. The Board meets at least quarterly, and meetings and records are open to the public. The Board creates standard report forms, reviews the Treasurer’s reports, and sends written concerns. Its reporting system is not subject to the Administrative Procedures Act. The Board must confirm and approve the Treasurer’s investment advisors and fiduciary managers.

Stronger vetting of investment advisors

The State Treasurer can hire qualified investment advisors and fiduciary managers to help run the program, subject to final Board approval. Before submitting a candidate, the office confirms the firm is in good standing with the SEC and the Oklahoma Securities Commission. Selection weighs returns, years in business, capitalization, performance record, fees, the share invested in Oklahoma, and relevant experience.
