Schools; requiring proof of citizenship or legal immigration status to be provided during school enrollment; effective date; emergency.
This bill requires parents or guardians enrolling children in Oklahoma public or charter schools to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status using specific documents like passports, permanent resident cards, driver licenses, Social Security cards, or birth certificates. School districts must track and report the number of students whose parents could not provide this documentation to the state education department, but the law explicitly states that children cannot be denied education based on this requirement. The bill also prohibits schools from recording individual students' citizenship or immigration status information, allowing only aggregate counts of undocumented enrollment. It takes effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to allow immediate implementation.
