House Bill No. 1393 mandates the State Board of Education to create specific parental consent forms for actions related to a student's Individual Education Program (IEP). These forms are required for determining 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. The bill emphasizes that a student with a disability cannot be removed from their age-appropriate general education classroom solely due to necessary modifications. Additionally, the bill outlines that parental consent must be obtained before proceeding with these actions, except in cases where the school district can demonstrate reasonable efforts to obtain consent or secure approval through a due process hearing.

The legislation also stipulates that school districts must hold an IEP Team meeting, including the parent, to discuss any changes to the IEP, providing written notice of the meeting at least five school days in advance. Parents are required to respond to the proposed IEP and placement within 30 days, and the school district must implement accepted elements of the IEP without delay. The bill clarifies that it does not diminish any parental rights established under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and allows the State Board of Education to adopt rules for its implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate enforcement upon passage.
