The bill amends existing Oklahoma law to enhance parental rights regarding the education and welfare of their minor children. It explicitly reserves various rights to parents, including the right to direct their child's education, access school and medical records, consent to biometric scans, and receive timely notifications regarding incidents involving their child. Notably, the bill introduces new rights for parents, such as the ability to bring an individual of their choice to meetings with school personnel and the right to receive copies of educational records within ten business days at no cost. Additionally, it establishes a framework for parents to file complaints against schools or educational entities if they believe their rights have been violated, with the State Department of Education required to investigate such complaints.

The bill also prohibits retaliation against parents or children by state agencies, political subdivisions, or schools for exercising their rights or participating in investigations. It defines various forms of retaliation and outlines the process for parents to seek redress, including the ability to file civil actions for violations. The bill mandates that any civil actions be sealed unless waived, and it sets a two-year limit for filing such actions. The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2026, and it declares an emergency for immediate implementation upon passage.
