House Bill No. 1396, introduced by Provenzano, aims to amend current laws regarding private school enrollment in Oklahoma. The bill specifically prohibits private schools accredited by the State Board of Education or other accrediting associations from requiring parents or guardians to participate in the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Program as a condition for a student's acceptance, enrollment, or eligibility. This new provision will be codified as Section 28-104 of Title 70 in the Oklahoma Statutes.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause, indicating that it is necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety, allowing it to be enacted immediately upon passage and approval.
