Schools; requiring school districts and charter schools to submit certain list of library materials; providing process for reporting violations; providing penalties. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 19 requires all Oklahoma public school districts and charter schools to annually submit a complete list of library materials (or provide a link to their online catalog) to the State Department of Education by October 1 each year. It prohibits access to pornographic materials or "sexualized content" (defined as excessive sexual material lacking educational value for students' age) in school libraries for those under 18. Parents can report suspected violations to the state, triggering an investigation; confirmed violations lead to a 5% state funding reduction and potential accreditation "deficiency" designation. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and mandates schools to maintain written policies for reviewing library materials and handling complaints.
