This bill mandates that, starting in the 2025-2026 school year, school district boards of education and charter school governing bodies must request a national criminal history record check for volunteers before they can participate at school sites. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) will be responsible for obtaining the fingerprints of these volunteers and will charge a search fee not exceeding $50, which will be deposited into the OSBI Revolving Fund. Additionally, the bill allows for the reimbursement of this search cost to volunteers by the school districts or charter schools.

Furthermore, the bill requires that each school district and charter school publish a notice on their websites regarding the national criminal history record check and whether they offer reimbursement for the search cost. However, there are exceptions for certain volunteers who meet specific criteria outlined in existing law, meaning they may not need to undergo the criminal history check. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
