The bill establishes the "Human Trafficking Awareness and Education Program" within the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control. It authorizes the Director of the Bureau to hire an Administrator responsible for the program's administration and operation. The program aims to provide guidelines and a comprehensive curriculum for human trafficking education in local schools, establish model policies for addressing human trafficking issues, and encourage schools to employ trained counselors. Additionally, it mandates that teachers receive training on human trafficking within their first year of employment.
School district boards of education are given the authority to make the final decisions regarding the materials and implementation of the curriculum, as well as the timing of instruction. They are required to present the curriculum plans to parents and guardians at least one month prior to instruction, and parents can opt-out their children from receiving this instruction upon written request. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
