Schools; requiring school districts to offer a parent seminar on a range of youth protection topics; effective date; emergency.

HB 1403 requires Oklahoma school districts to offer free, annual parent seminars covering youth protection topics like substance abuse prevention, bullying, mental health awareness, and internet safety (including pornography risks). These seminars must occur after 6:00 p.m. at least once yearly in a school within the district. School districts may opt out if their board determines the topics lack value for families, but must report their reasons to the State Board of Education. The State Board must develop a curriculum for the seminars and submit two progress reports to the legislature on implementation and attendance. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
