SB 702 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Schools; modifying the Health Education Act; modifying topics to be included in health education; providing for review and approval of curricula and materials. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 702 modifies Oklahoma's Health Education Act to require public schools to teach physical health, exercise, nutrition, and mental/social-emotional health - explicitly excluding sex education and gender theory. It mandates the State Department of Education to develop standards and approve all curricula, materials, tests, and surveys, requiring school districts to use only Board-approved resources. School districts must submit annual implementation reports and face accreditation consequences for violations, while repealing prior provisions related to Maria’s Law and a prevention survey. The bill aims to standardize health education content and oversight across Oklahoma public schools.
