This bill establishes a new tuition waiver for individuals who are victims of human trafficking for commercial sex or labor, specifically targeting those who were under the age of eighteen and residents of Oklahoma at the time of the offense. The waiver will exempt these individuals from resident tuition fees within The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. However, the bill stipulates that the tuition waiver is limited to a duration of five years.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will create rules to implement the provisions of the tuition waiver, including the requirements for applying for the waiver. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause to ensure its immediate enforcement upon passage and approval.
