The bill amends Oklahoma law to enhance parental rights in the upbringing and education of children, specifically by prohibiting governmental entities, including school districts, from infringing on these rights without demonstrating a compelling governmental interest. Key provisions include requiring written parental consent for children to participate in sex education, instruction on sexuality, and presentations regarding sexual orientation or gender identity. The bill also mandates the development of training materials for school staff to ensure compliance with these rights and outlines procedures for parental notification and consent for various educational activities.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws related to parental access to medical records and educational materials, reducing the response time for schools to information requests from ten to seven days. It requires school boards to adopt policies for notifying parents of changes in services or student information, such as names or pronouns. The legislation introduces new procedures for addressing parental concerns regarding medical and mental health assessments of minors, emphasizing the need for written consent from parents and ensuring parents are informed of any changes in their child's health services. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
