The bill amends Section 13-116 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the use of corporal punishment in schools. The key change prohibits school district personnel from using corporal punishment on any student identified with a disability, expanding the previous restriction that only applied to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. Additionally, the bill removes the provision that allowed for a waiver to this prohibition if a parent or legal guardian provided written consent.

Overall, the legislation aims to enhance protections for students with disabilities by eliminating the possibility of corporal punishment and ensuring that all students with disabilities are treated with dignity and respect in educational settings. The removal of the waiver provision signifies a stronger stance against corporal punishment in schools, aligning with the principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
