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 a program director and an advisory board appointed by the Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma.

The bill outlines the operational framework for the program, including the requirement for an annual strategic plan and a report to be submitted to state leaders. It also specifies that faculty may be awarded tenure and provides for the funding of the program through state allocations and donations. The program is set to begin offering courses in the fall semester of 2027, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
