Senate Bill No. 244 establishes the Program of American Civic Thought and Leadership at the University of Oklahoma, aimed at educating students on the principles of American political order, responsible leadership, and civic engagement. The program will provide diverse resources and promote a marketplace of ideas, focusing on political thought, American history, and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. It will be authorized to enroll students, hire faculty, develop courses, and facilitate internships, among other activities, under the supervision of the program's director and the academic college.

The bill outlines the structure and operational guidelines for the program, including the formation of an advisory board appointed by the Board of Regents, which will oversee staffing, curriculum, and policy matters. The program is set to begin offering courses in the fall semester of 2027, with annual strategic plans and reports required to be submitted to state officials. Funding for the program will come from state allocations and charitable donations, specifically for its direct operations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
