This bill amends Section 11-103.6a-1 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the legislative review process for subject matter standards adopted by the State Board of Education. The key change is that if the Legislature fails to adopt a joint resolution regarding the submitted standards within thirty legislative days, the standards will now be deemed disapproved, replacing the previous designation of "approved." The bill outlines the process for the State Board of Education to submit standards for legislative review, the conditions under which standards can be amended or disapproved, and the final approval process that grants the standards the force of law.

Additionally, the bill specifies that joint resolutions related to the approval or disapproval of standards will not be subject to regular legislative cutoff dates and must focus solely on the standards in question. This aims to streamline the legislative process concerning educational standards and ensure timely review and implementation. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
