Summary
HB 3502 changes Oklahoma’s adoption rules so a child cannot be denied placement because an adoptive parent refuses or is unwilling to support a gender transition. It also amends the Children’s Code to say that raising or referring to a juvenile according to their biological sex is not abuse. The changes affect prospective adoptive parents, child welfare agencies, and anyone accused of child abuse or neglect.
