Senate Bill No. 364 amends Section 13-116 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, specifically addressing the use of corporal punishment in schools. The bill prohibits school district personnel from using corporal punishment on any student identified with a disability, aligning with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Additionally, the bill removes previous language that allowed for a waiver of this prohibition if a parent or legal guardian provided written consent.

The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025, and it includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This bill aims to enhance protections for students with disabilities by ensuring they are not subjected to corporal punishment in educational settings.
