House Bill No. 1393 mandates the State Board of Education to create specific parental consent forms for school districts to use in obtaining consent for actions related to a student's Individual Education Program (IEP). The bill outlines that consent is required for a student's participation in the Oklahoma Alternate Assessment Program and for placements in general education environments for less than 80% of the instructional day. It also stipulates that parental consent forms must be provided in the parent's native language and include clear statements regarding the parent's rights, including the implications of consenting or refusing consent.

Additionally, the bill requires school districts to hold IEP Team meetings with parents when changes to a student's IEP are proposed, providing written notice of the meeting at least five school days in advance. It allows for the waiver of this notice with informed consent from the parent. The school district must document efforts to obtain parental consent before proceeding with actions described in the bill, and parents are given a 30-day period to respond to proposed IEPs and placements. The bill emphasizes that it does not diminish any parental rights established under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and authorizes the State Board of Education to adopt rules for implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate enforcement upon passage.
