Agriculture; requiring operation of an Ag in the Classroom Education Program; requiring development of curriculum for K-12 programs. Effective date.
SB 1410 requires Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture to operate an "Ag in the Classroom" program for K-12 students in both rural and urban schools, developing curriculum and providing teacher training. The bill mandates that the department may offer incentives like recognition, project funds, or certificates to teachers using the program. It increases funding by raising the fee from $24 to $27 per Agricultural Awareness license plate deposited into the program's revolving fund, with excess funds specifically allocated for expanding the program into urban schools. The program must be run directly by the Department of Agriculture, with cooperation from the State Department of Education and Oklahoma State University Extension. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to add a new co-sponsor from the House of Representatives and updated the legislative session details to reflect the Senate floor version. The core policy content regarding the Ag in the Classroom Education Program, including curriculum development, teacher incentives, and funding mechanisms, remains substantively unchanged from the House version.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; the amendments are primarily procedural and formatting updates to reflect the Senate's adoption of the House version.
TECHNICAL
Added a new co-sponsor, Patzkowsky of the House, to the bill's authorship list.
Updated the header to reflect the Senate floor version date (February 17, 2026) and removed the House-specific session header.
Removed the House Committee Oversight report and replaced it with a standard Senate Committee Report indicating the bill passed as amended.
Replaced page footers and headers to indicate the document is now the Senate Floor Version (SFLR) instead of the House Floor Version (HFLR).
