The bill amends Section 11-103.6 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance high school graduation requirements and incorporate new curriculum components. Key changes include the addition of computer science as an acceptable course for graduation, the introduction of a mandatory personal financial literacy unit, and the establishment of an alternate diploma option for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The bill also clarifies that school districts are responsible for determining locally approved math and science-based application courses and must notify the State Department of Education annually. Additionally, it emphasizes career and technology education, allowing flexibility in course selection to better align with students' individual career paths.

Moreover, the legislation updates the criteria for awarding diplomas, specifying that students with individualized education programs (IEPs) who meet their graduation requirements through their IEPs will receive a standard diploma. It also allows students denied a diploma to re-enroll for remediation and complete necessary curriculum units while exempting them from certain instructional requirements. The bill mandates that the State Department of Education develop rules to ensure that all levels of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Computer Science include instruction on emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
