House Bill No. 2259 amends existing laws regarding school transfers in Oklahoma, particularly focusing on the transfer policies for military dependents. The bill removes the requirement for military families to provide evidence of their home of record and active duty status for transfer approvals. It prohibits schools from denying enrollment to transfer students before they establish residency and mandates that intra-district transfer students remain in the transferred district continuously. The bill also clarifies exceptions for continual intra-district transfers and establishes a capacity exception specifically for military children.

Additionally, the bill outlines that school districts must adopt policies to determine the number of intra-district transfer students they can accept, with specific provisions for military dependents that allow provisional eligibility for transfers regardless of capacity. The number of military dependents allowed for transfer is specified based on the enrollment levels at different school levels. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
