Senate Bill No. 388 establishes new eligibility criteria for students enrolled in charter schools or virtual charter schools in Oklahoma to participate in extracurricular activities offered by their resident school districts. According to the bill, these students can only participate if the activity is not available at their charter school and does not have an associated course requirement. The eligibility will be determined based on the rules and policies of the resident school district and any relevant school athletic associations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the term "resident school district" refers to the public school district where the student resides.

The bill also amends existing laws regarding charter school enrollment and participation in athletic associations. It removes the requirement for charter school students to obtain a transfer to attend a charter school in their district of residence and introduces a new provision that allows charter school students to participate in interscholastic activities offered by their resident district, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. Furthermore, the bill mandates that any school athletic association must adopt a written policy that includes provisions for charter school student participation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
