Schools; prohibiting public school districts from offering a sex education class or program. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1737 prohibits Oklahoma public school districts from offering any sex education class or program. It removes existing statutory requirements that previously allowed districts to provide such instruction (under specific abstinence-focused guidelines) and eliminates parental opt-out procedures for sex education. The bill amends Oklahoma statutes (25 O.S. § 2003 and 70 O.S. § 11-105.1) to delete language about developing sex education policies, curriculum approval, and parental inspection rights related to sex education. This directly affects public school districts, students, and parents by preventing the provision of formal sex education in Oklahoma schools.
