Bill > HB3261

This bill mandates that the State Department of Education create and manage a central database to register all school support employees, which are individuals defined in Section 1-116 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes who provide essential services to schools but are not teachers. This database will store each support employee's full legal name, the name of their employing school district and site along with their role, and a unique, permanent identification number assigned by the Department that will follow them throughout their public education employment in the state. School districts are required to submit this information for all their support personnel by October 1, 2026, and must update the Department within thirty days of any new hire or termination. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval to ensure its provisions are implemented promptly.
