Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-48.1: Legislative findings

A. The Legislature finds the following to be beneficial goals

of the state: attracting, retaining and providing favorable

conditions for the recruitment and growth of certain high-impact

business projects or facilities which provide widespread economic

benefits to the public through high-quality employment opportunities

or capital investment in such projects or facilities and net

economic benefits to the state.

B. The Legislature further finds that there exists serious

competition for these projects and facilities, and that without a

workable closing fund, Oklahoma continues to be at a competitive

disadvantage in vying with states that have such a fund for

attracting and/or retaining these business projects.
