OK HB1603

Requires public schools in Oklahoma to teach a human growth and development curriculum including human biology related to pregnancy, fetal development inside the womb, a high-definition ultrasound video of at least 3 minutes showing fetal development, and computer-generated renderings of fetal development highlighting cell growth and organ development until birth.

School districts must obtain opt-in permission forms from parents or legal guardians at least 2 weeks before teaching the curriculum, with forms prescribed by the State Board of Education and retained by school districts.

Students in grades 9-12 must receive the human growth and development instruction to graduate with a standard diploma unless parents did not complete an opt-in permission form or the student has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for a significant cognitive disability.

Instruction shall be integrated into health or science education and incorporated into state academic content standards adopted by the State Board of Education.

The act becomes effective November 1, 2025.
