The Oklahoma Higher Education Fair Admissions Act aims to provide equitable admission opportunities for individuals seeking higher education in Oklahoma, specifically by prohibiting institutions from inquiring about certain criminal histories and behavioral conduct for applicants who will be attending classes online and not residing on campus. The Act defines "institution of higher education" and "online student," and establishes that the State Regents for Higher Education will oversee compliance, with penalties for institutions that violate the provisions, including fines and potential loss of state funding.

The Act includes new legal sections to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically Sections 3261 through 3265 of Title 70. It emphasizes the importance of fair admissions practices and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the Act is deemed void, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. An emergency clause is also included, allowing the Act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
