House Bill No. 1243 establishes the Oklahoma National Guard CareerTech Assistance Act, which aims to provide tuition assistance to eligible members of the Oklahoma National Guard who enroll in technology center schools. The bill defines key terms, including "eligible Guard member" and "technology center school," and outlines the creation of the Oklahoma National Guard CareerTech Assistance Program. This program will offer financial support equivalent to the tuition for career and technology programs, limited to a maximum of three years, and subject to the availability of funds. The bill also sets forth eligibility criteria, retention requirements, and an application process, while allowing for the denial of assistance and repayment obligations for members who fail to meet the established requirements.

Additionally, the bill creates the Oklahoma National Guard CareerTech Assistance Revolving Fund, which will be funded through state appropriations and used to provide assistance to eligible Guard members. The fund is designed to be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and will facilitate the disbursement of funds for the program. The State Board of Career and Technology Education is tasked with notifying the Adjutant General about available funding and promulgating rules for the program's implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate enactment upon passage and approval.
