Schools; requiring school districts to provide instruction in human growth and development to students in certain grades. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 587 requires Oklahoma public school districts to provide mandatory instruction in human growth and development for students in grades 9-12 starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill specifies that this instruction must include human biology related to pregnancy, fetal development inside the womb, a 3-minute high-definition ultrasound video showing early fetal organ development, and a computer-generated animation of fertilization and pregnancy stages. School districts may integrate this content into existing courses, and the law takes effect July 1, 2025. This bill directly affects all Oklahoma high school students in grades 9-12 and school districts statewide.
