Okla. Stat. tit. 74, § 5010.1

The purpose of this act is to provide special assistance and aid to certain minority and disadvantaged persons, so that such persons may engage in gainful business and employment opportunities to the extent of their capabilities. The Legislature hereby specifically finds there is a pattern of continuing and latent discrimination in the financial and commercial sectors of the business communities that results in the deprivation of opportunities to minority and disadvantaged persons in this state to engage in self-employment and establishment of business enterprises.
