Oklahoma businesses get Taiwan trade support

The law creates the Taiwan Regional Trade Office within Oklahoma’s Department of Commerce, with a physical office in Taipei. It helps Oklahoma businesses find trade opportunities with entities in the Taiwan region through outreach, training, and educational materials. It organizes, supports, and funds trade travel and manages federal-level efforts to promote business-to-business trade involving Oklahoma businesses. Its business relationship work excludes ties involving authoritarian or totalitarian governments not chosen through legitimate popular votes. Its work connecting Oklahoma state and local governments with Taiwan-region governments must follow U.S. foreign policy and trade or travel restrictions. The Department can issue rules to carry out the law, which specifies no funding appropriation.

Taiwan trade support faces required review

By January 1, 2029, Oklahoma’s Department of Commerce must review the Taiwan Regional Trade Office’s costs and benefits. The review covers three years beginning with the first complete calendar quarter. Estimated net direct state benefits equal estimated direct state benefits minus estimated direct state costs. The Department must close the office if it determines the office failed to meet the estimated net direct state benefits. Closure can avoid continued state costs but ends the office’s trade support for Oklahoma businesses.
