Bill No. 382 amends existing education law in Oklahoma to establish new requirements for children enrolling in prekindergarten. Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, children must be toilet trained prior to enrollment. Parents or legal guardians will be required to provide assurances of toilet training on a form prescribed by the State Department of Education. The bill also mandates the creation of a process for school districts to follow if a child is found to be not toilet trained, which includes options for temporary unenrollment, referral to family support resources, and allowing parental assistance in toilet training. Additionally, children with disabilities that prevent them from being toilet trained will be exempt from this requirement.

The bill updates statutory language and clarifies the rights of children aged four to twenty-one to attend school, with specific provisions for early childhood programs. It also includes a provision that no nonresident pupil may attend school without paying a tuition fee, with exceptions for certain contiguous out-of-state districts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause is included to ensure its immediate implementation upon passage.
