SR 42 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Resolution; recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and April 29, 2026 as Denim Day.

This Senate resolution formally recognizes April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and designates April 29, 2026, as Denim Day in Oklahoma. The bill encourages people to wear jeans on that day to symbolize that clothing does not invite harassment, abuse, assault, or rape. It also directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the YWCA to support their educational efforts. The measure serves as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about sexual violence rather than creating new laws or funding.

The substantive policy content, including the recognition of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the designation of April 29, 2026, as Denim Day, and the directive to distribute copies to the YWCA, remains unchanged.
