Schools; repealer; effective date; emergency.

HB 2985 repeals a requirement in Oklahoma law (70 O.S. 2021, Section 24-157) that mandated gender or sexual diversity training for school staff. This bill directly affects public schools in Oklahoma by removing a specific training obligation. The repeal takes effect on July 1, 2026, and the bill declares an emergency to allow immediate implementation upon approval. It does not create new requirements but eliminates an existing mandate related to school staff training.
