AI Summary
This bill requires public school districts in Oklahoma to notify the State Department of Education by September 1st each year if they are eligible for the federal "community eligibility provision" but choose not to participate. The community eligibility provision, established by federal law (42 U.S.C., Section 1759a), allows school districts to offer free school meals to all students at participating sites in exchange for federal funding for school meals. The notification must also state the reason why the district is not participating in this program. This new requirement will take effect on July 1, 2026, and is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will be in full force immediately after its passage and approval.
