HJR 1010 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Constitution; parental rights; school regulation restrictions; ballot title; filing.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Constitution (Article XIII, Section 4) that would explicitly grant parents and legal guardians the right to direct their children's education. It would prevent the Oklahoma Legislature from passing laws regulating non-public schools (including private schools and homeschools) that do not receive public funds. The amendment would require the Secretary of State to place this change on the ballot for voter approval, with a ballot title explaining it as adding parental control over education and blocking state regulation of non-public schools. If approved by voters, it would become part of the state constitution.
