Higher education; Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education; student advisory board; repealers; effective date; emergency.
HB 2903 repealed two specific sections (3205.5 and 3205.6) of Oklahoma's statutes governing the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. These repealed sections previously addressed the student advisory board structure within the Regents' framework. The law took effect on July 1, 2025, as an emergency measure. This is a procedural change removing existing statutory language, not a new policy.
