Higher education; prohibiting tuition and fee rates at certain institutions of higher education from exceeding rates of certain academic year. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 339 freezes tuition and fees at Oklahoma public colleges and universities for the 2025-2026 academic year, preventing increases above the rates approved for 2024-2025. It directly affects all institutions within "The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education" by requiring their 2025-2026 rates to match the prior year's approved rates. The bill amends Oklahoma law to prohibit rate increases beyond the previous academic year's approved levels. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and was declared an emergency.
