The bill also updates the reporting requirements for the Oklahoma Tax Commission and other state agencies, removing outdated provisions and clarifying certain definitions. Effective from the 2026-2027 school year, it mandates the State Department of Education to develop a student identification system for reporting enrollment data and other educational metrics.
