Oklahoma HB1020 exempts children of certain public school employees from financial qualification requirements for the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access.

Oklahoma HB1020 amends the eligibility criteria for the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program, a state-funded scholarship program. The bill exempts children of certain public school employees from financial qualification requirements. Specifically, students whose parents' federal adjusted gross income exceeds $150,000 per year are not required to demonstrate financial need to qualify for the program. This exemption applies to students who apply for the program after the 2024-2025 school year and excludes those who received benefits prior to the 2012-2013 school year.
