SB 760 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Higher education; providing exemption for certain organizations and institutions. Emergency.

SB 760 exempts specific higher education institutions from Oklahoma's accreditation and state authorization requirements. It removes the need for certain private schools in the Tuition Equalization Grant program, out-of-state institutions in state reciprocity agreements, and religious degree-granting schools (with 501(c)(3) tax status) to seek state approval. Non-degree programs (like certificates) remain regulated by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
