SB 1324 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Higher education; repealing language prohibiting certain institutions of higher education from using state funds, property, or resources in certain activities. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1324 repeals a prohibition (70 O.S. Supp. 2025 §3251) that barred Oklahoma public colleges and universities from using state funds, property, or resources for certain activities. The bill removes this restriction, giving public higher education institutions more flexibility in how they allocate state resources. It takes effect on July 1, 2026, and was passed with an emergency declaration. This is a procedural change to higher education funding rules, not a new policy.
