The Oklahoma Sexual Education Reform and Parental Rights Protection Act establishes new guidelines for sexual education in schools, emphasizing parental involvement and consent. The bill mandates that school districts require written consent from parents or legal guardians before students can participate in comprehensive sexual education or sexual risk reduction instruction. It also stipulates that parents must be notified in advance about any instruction related to sexuality and provides them with the right to review educational materials. Additionally, the act defines terms related to sexual education, distinguishing between comprehensive sexual education and optimal sexual health education, and outlines the responsibilities of school boards in developing policies that promote parental engagement.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws to ensure that only certified teachers can lead sexual education classes and prohibits outside organizations from conducting such programs. It restricts the use of instructional materials to those approved by the State Textbook Committee and prohibits the use of state funds for purchasing unapproved textbooks. The act aims to uphold family values and parental authority in education, with an effective date set for July 1, 2025, and an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
