Industry attracting bill becomes new Oklahoma law

A new state law approved by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has a goal of attracting capital investment and high-wage manufacturing jobs to the state with the construction of a $4 billion aluminum smeltering plant

Senate Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton praised the final passage of House Bill 2781, landmark legislation establishing the Reindustrialize Oklahoma Act (ROA-25).

The measure sets the stage for the potential $4 billion aluminum smelter project that could bring at least 1,000 new direct jobs to Oklahoma, representing one of the most significant economic development opportunities in state history. The project comes after an international deal recently negotiated by President Donald Trump.
