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 need to provide assurances of this 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 to attend school, specifying that all children aged five to twenty-one are entitled to free education in their district of residence, with certain exceptions. It also includes provisions regarding nonresident students and tuition fees, ensuring that no nonresident pupil can attend without payment of tuition unless specific conditions are met. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause is included to expedite its implementation.
