Bill > HB1671

This bill requires parents or guardians enrolling a child in an Oklahoma public or charter school to provide proof of the child's United States citizenship or legal immigration status using documents such as a U.S. passport, Permanent Resident Card, Oklahoma driver's license, Social Security card, or birth certificate from the U.S. or its territories. School districts must record and report to the State Department of Education the number of students whose parents cannot provide such documentation due to lack of citizenship or immigration status. The bill explicitly states that no child shall be prevented from receiving education as entitled under U.S. or Oklahoma law, and it restricts the recording of individual student citizenship or immigration data beyond the aggregate reporting requirement. The legislation is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and is being introduced with an emergency clause, which means it can take effect immediately upon passage and approval, signaling the perceived urgency of the issue by the legislators.
