SB 700 requires Oklahoma's State Department of Education and State Department of Health to create public guidelines for preventing and managing heat-related illnesses in school sports. It mandates schools to use Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) readings every hour during practices, limit football practices to 14 in 18 days before scrimmages, and develop emergency action plans with cooling zones and hydration protocols. The bill directly affects all Oklahoma secondary school athletic programs and their participants. School districts must also hold informational meetings for athletes and parents about heat illness symptoms and treatment. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, with an emergency declaration.
