HB 3493 modifies Oklahoma's higher education tuition and financial aid rules for students not lawfully present in the U.S. It requires students seeking resident tuition or state-funded financial aid (including scholarships and grants) to provide proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status, such as a filed application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services or an affidavit committing to file one within one year of enrollment. The bill specifically affects undocumented students who graduated from Oklahoma high schools but lack legal status, while exempting those already enrolled in degree programs before the 2006-2007 academic year. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, and apply to all state-funded aid programs at Oklahoma's public higher education institutions.

The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and is designated as an emergency measure to address immediate security needs. It does not create new policies but allocates existing funds to implement current school security requirements.
