Oklahoma HB1165 mandates school districts to verify and report citizenship status of enrolling students.

Oklahoma HB1165 requires publicly funded school districts to obtain proof of citizenship or legal immigration status from parents or guardians of enrolling students. Acceptable proofs include birth certificates, passports, and residency cards. Districts must record this information and submit an annual report to the State Department of Education, detailing the number of students who provided proof, those who did not, and those who provided proof of legal immigration status. The report must exclude personally identifiable information. The bill takes effect immediately upon approval.
