BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law not to be

free appropriate public education (FAPE) for students with an
individualized education program (IEP);
2. IDEA does not allow state legislators, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, the State Department of Education, school
districts in this state, or the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to
expand school-based services beyond the scope provided for in
paragraph 1 of this section;
3. School-based health centers function as primary health care
providers that operate on or off campus or via telehealth and fall
outside the professional and academic scope of public education;
4. School-based health centers grant broad authority to school-
based health care providers to conduct medical testing, administer
treatment, and make medical decisions based on one-time parental
consent without requiring the presence of a parent or legal guardian
at the time testing is administered or treatment is provided;
5. Medical ethics and established health care practices
prohibit physicians from treating minors without direct involvement
from a parent or legal guardian, ensuring the prevention of power
imbalances and safeguarding the rights of a parent or legal
guardian; and
6. The Oklahoma Constitution does not establish a right to
school-based health care; however, it explicitly defines the purpose
of public schools in this state as academic instruction, independent

clinics.
SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-127 of Title 70, unless there
is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. 1. The State Department of Education shall be prohibited
from accepting federal funds including, but not limited to, block
grants provided for the purpose of expanding school-based health
care services or implementing school-based health centers or
clinics.
2. The State Department of Education shall review all existing
contracts entered into by the Department or the State Board of
Education and terminate any related to expanding school-based health
care services or implementing school-based health centers or
clinics.
B. The State Department of Education, in consultation with
school districts in this state, shall conduct a comprehensive
compliance review of all individualized education programs (IEPs)
developed for students to ensure that any medical services provided
in accordance with an IEP are educationally necessary. If an IEP
contains medical services that are not educationally necessary, such
services shall be removed and the student shall be evaluated to
determine whether a Section 504 Plan developed pursuant to the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is more appropriate.
