This bill establishes new requirements for minors under the age of eighteen seeking to obtain a driver license or permit in Oklahoma. It mandates that these individuals demonstrate reading proficiency at an eighth-grade level, which can be satisfied by successfully completing the reading portion of a statewide assessment or an alternative reading proficiency test approved by the State Department of Education. If a student does not pass the initial assessment, they will be assigned a remedial reading plan and can take alternative tests. The bill also outlines documentation requirements for school enrollment and reading proficiency, including provisions for students educated through alternative means, such as homeschooling.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for school districts to provide documentation of reading proficiency and establishes penalties for falsifying information related to these requirements. It allows for exceptions during summer months and for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The Department of Public Safety is tasked with verifying documentation and notifying students of any license cancellations due to school withdrawals. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
