Schools; modifying the Health Education Act; modifying topics to be included in health education; providing for review and approval of curricula and materials. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 702 modifies Oklahoma's Health Education Act to prohibit the inclusion of sex education or gender theory in public school health classes. It requires the State Department of Education to review and the State Board of Education to approve all health education curricula, materials, tests, and surveys before use. School districts must implement state-approved materials by the 2025-2026 school year, with annual electronic reporting to the state. The bill also establishes a process for submitting complaints about violations and allows the State Board to label districts as "deficient" for noncompliance.
