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 ensuring that corporal punishment is not used as a disciplinary measure against them, thereby aligning with the principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The removal of the waiver provision further strengthens this protection, ensuring that consent from parents or guardians cannot override the prohibition on corporal punishment for these students.
