Oklahoma HB1283 establishes the Educators' Professional Liability Insurance Program for school employees.

Oklahoma HB1283 creates the Educators' Professional Liability Insurance Program, providing liability insurance for full-time and part-time school employees in public and charter schools. The Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) administers the program, which can contract for private insurance, create a self-insured risk pool, or use a combination. The insurance carrier is selected through a competitive process. The Legislature must annually appropriate funds for the program, and school districts must notify eligible employees about the coverage.
