Oklahoma agencies face limits on biotechnology use
The law bars Oklahoma agencies receiving state or federal funds from using or buying biotechnology equipment or services from federally designated companies of concern. Agencies also cannot contract with entities that use or buy that biotechnology. Covered companies must be under a foreign adversary’s control and pose a national security risk based on multiomics research. Multiomics combines several kinds of biological data, such as data about genes and proteins. The ban takes effect when a federal law bars federally funded entities from using biotechnology from companies associated with a foreign adversary.
