Schools; requiring school districts to provide instruction in human growth and development to students in certain grades. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 587 requires Oklahoma public school districts to provide students in grades 9-12 with specific instruction on human growth and development starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The bill mandates that this instruction include four key elements: human biology related to pregnancy, fetal development inside the womb, a 3-minute high-definition ultrasound video of early fetal organ development, and a computer-generated animation of fertilization and pregnancy stages. School districts may integrate this content into existing courses rather than creating new ones, and the law takes effect July 1, 2025, with an emergency declaration. This directly affects all Oklahoma public high school students and school districts under state education guidelines.
