This bill amends 70 O.S. 2021, Section 27-103, which outlines the requirements for school athletic associations in Oklahoma. The key addition to the existing law is the requirement that all hearings conducted by the association, including those related to rule violations, eligibility determinations, and requests for hardship waivers, must be subject to the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act. This ensures that these hearings are conducted transparently and in accordance with established public meeting protocols.

The bill also maintains existing requirements for school athletic associations, such as making records accessible under the Oklahoma Open Records Act and conducting annual financial and compliance audits. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026, and it includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval to ensure the timely implementation of these transparency measures.
