Schools; directing career-readiness assessments and assessment-based credentials to be made available to certain students beginning in certain school year. Effective date. Emergency.

Summary

The bill moves authority for reviewing and approving career‑readiness assessments and related credentials from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to the State Department of Education. Beginning in the 2026‑27 school year, public school districts may offer these standardized tests to students in grades 10‑12 at no cost, and students who meet proficiency can earn nationally recognized work‑readiness credentials. The State Regents for Higher Education must adopt rules allowing colleges to grant credit for those credentials.
