Higher education; Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program; no award for reenrollment in failed courses; effective date; emergency.

HB 1747 prohibits Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OK-HLAP) funding for students reenrolling in courses they previously failed. The bill directly affects Oklahoma students receiving OK-HLAP financial aid, which covers tuition at public or private higher education institutions. Key provisions ban payments for retaking failed courses starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, while maintaining existing rules on funding for remedial courses (banned since 2018-2019) and other eligibility limits. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and was declared an emergency.
