The Oklahoma Sexual Education Reform and Parental Rights Protection Act aims to enhance parental involvement and control over sexual education in schools. 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 regarding sexuality, and they have the right to review learning materials. Additionally, the bill emphasizes that only certified teachers can lead sexual education classes, and it prohibits outside organizations from conducting such programs.

The bill amends existing laws to clarify the definitions of comprehensive sexual education and optimal sexual health education, outlining what each entails. It includes provisions for the availability of curriculum materials on school district websites and restricts the use of state funds for purchasing instructional materials not approved by the State Textbook Committee. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
