This bill amends existing legislation related to the Oklahoma Free Speech Committee, which is established under the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The amendments specify that the Committee will consist of ten members, with appointments divided between the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, ensuring representation from both majority and minority parties. Additionally, the bill outlines that any vacancies on the Committee will be filled by the appointing authority.

Furthermore, the bill updates the process for addressing free speech violations on college campuses within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. It mandates that institutions of higher education develop a system for collecting complaints and advising students of their rights. Institutions are required to publish contact information for reporting free speech concerns on their websites and to provide written notifications to students during orientation and at least once each semester. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
