AI Summary
This bill amends the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program to include children of certified administrators as eligible for the program, alongside children of certified teachers, by updating eligibility requirements and student agreement provisions. The bill also expands the acceptable standardized tests for program eligibility to include the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and Classic Learning Test (CLT), in addition to the ACT, and allows students to be admitted to technology center schools overseen by the State Board of Career and Technology Education. Furthermore, it clarifies the definition of a "certified administrator" for program purposes and repeals an outdated version of the eligibility requirements section of the law, with the changes taking effect on July 1, 2026, and declared an emergency.
