Bill > SB211

This bill requires licensed child care facilities in Oklahoma to remove all print, non-print, and multimedia materials that contain content related to sexual orientation or gender identity from their premises. If a child care facility is found to be in violation of this requirement after a complaint and investigation by the Department of Human Services, the facility will be subject to corrective and administrative actions as outlined in existing state statutes. The Director of Human Services is authorized to create rules to implement these provisions. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2025, and represents a new legal requirement for child care facilities in the state, aimed at restricting access to materials that discuss sexual orientation and gender identity for children in licensed care settings. This legislation could potentially impact educational resources, books, and other materials used in child care environments by mandating their removal if they address these topics.
