Schools; creating the Oklahoma Sexual Education Reform and Parental Rights Protection Act; requiring written consent for a student to participate in certain instruction. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 413 requires Oklahoma schools to obtain written parental consent before students can participate in specific sexual education instruction. It defines "optimal sexual health education" to emphasize abstinence, heterosexual relationships, and traditional family structures while prohibiting teaching gender identity outside the binary concept or promoting non-heterosexual orientations as equal. Schools must adopt procedures for parental notification and consent, update website information about curriculum, and ban certain materials deemed "obscene" or harmful to minors. The bill directly affects students in Oklahoma public schools and their parents/guardians, altering how sexual education content is delivered and approved. It amends existing statutes to implement these requirements, effective immediately as an emergency measure.
