House Bill No. 2917 mandates the State Department of Agriculture to operate the "Ag in the Classroom Program," aimed at educating Oklahoma students about agriculture. The bill outlines the Department's responsibilities, which include developing curriculum for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, providing training for teachers, and collaborating with other educational entities. The Department will have exclusive authority over the program and will directly receive all funds related to it, including gifts and grants.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 1104.3 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, increasing the fee allocated to the Ag in the Classroom Education Revolving Fund from $24 to $27 for Agricultural Awareness license plates. It establishes the fund as a continuing resource for the Department, allowing for the appropriation of additional funds from various sources to support the program. The bill also specifies that any excess funds from the license plate fees will be used to expand the program into urban areas. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
