The bill amends Oklahoma law to enhance parental rights in the upbringing and education of children, ensuring that no governmental entity, including school districts, can infringe 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 activities related to 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 regarding 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 and introduces new procedures for addressing parental concerns regarding medical and mental health assessments of minors. The legislation specifies that written consent for surgical procedures and mental health assessments must come from a parent, clarifying that mental health treatment includes therapy and counseling services, while emphasizing the importance of parental notification regarding changes in a child's health services. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
