AI Summary
This bill requires that any school athletic association that a public school or school district joins must have a written policy that includes four key provisions: all association records must be accessible under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, all meetings must follow the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act regarding notice, agendas, voting, and executive sessions, the association must undergo annual financial and compliance audits according to the Oklahoma Public School Audit Law, and importantly, a student who transfers to a public school in a district where they do not reside, as allowed by the Education Open Transfer Act, must be permitted to participate in interscholastic activities offered by that new school district upon enrollment. Additionally, this bill repeals a previous law concerning participation in competitions after a transfer and will become effective on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
