HB 1475 prohibits Oklahoma public and private schools from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations, vaccine passports, or mask mandates for unvaccinated students. It bans schools from discriminating against students based on vaccination status, including in athletics, classroom participation, surveys, or seating arrangements. The law applies to all K-12 schools and colleges but does not affect standard immunization requirements for diseases like measles or polio. Violations result in a 5% reduction in state funding for the affected school district.
