Schools; creating the Age-Appropriate Materials Act; prohibiting public school districts and public charter schools from making certain materials available to students. Effective date.

SB 1495, the "Age-Appropriate Materials Act," prohibits Oklahoma public school districts and charter schools from making available to students any materials containing obscene material, sexual conduct, sexually explicit content, nudity, or content harmful to minors. Schools must remove such materials by March 1, 2027, conduct annual audits by August 15 each year, and maintain public inventories of library resources starting September 8, 2027. The bill requires school boards to adopt compliance policies and directs the State Board of Education to develop library standards banning prohibited content in all school library materials, including digital resources and classroom collections. These standards must ensure materials are removed based on content - not viewpoint - and require public access to library catalogs. The law directly affects all Oklahoma public schools' library and classroom resources.
