This bill amends Section 628.13 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to concurrent enrollment for high school students in college or university courses. The key changes include a requirement that students attending a physical school must also attend concurrent enrollment classes in person at their school. If a concurrent enrollment class is offered virtually, students are mandated to travel to their physical school or a nearby college or university campus to participate. Additionally, the bill mandates the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to issue an annual report detailing participation in the concurrent enrollment program, including the number of students enrolled, those receiving tuition waivers, graduation rates, and the number of students earning degrees.

The bill also emphasizes the importance of ensuring that concurrent enrollment opportunities are available to all eligible high school students and outlines the responsibilities of the State Board of Education and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in promoting these opportunities. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025, and it includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
