HJR 1010 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Oklahoma Constitution; parental rights; school regulation restrictions; ballot title; filing.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Constitution (Article XIII, Section 4) that would affirm parents' and legal guardians' right to direct their children's education. It specifically prohibits the Oklahoma Legislature from regulating schools that do not receive public funds, including homeschools and private schools. The amendment would require voter approval through a legislative referendum, as outlined in the provided ballot title. If passed, it would prevent state laws from controlling non-public educational settings while maintaining existing requirements for school attendance. This change directly affects parents, guardians, and non-public educational institutions across Oklahoma.
