Complete·5/12/25

Oklahoma SB364 bans corporal punishment for students with significant cognitive disabilities in schools.

Oklahoma SB364 amends the state's education code to prohibit school district personnel from using corporal punishment on students identified with the most significant cognitive disabilities. This prohibition applies unless the punishment is addressed in an annual individualized education program (IEP) developed in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The bill removes language authorizing certain waivers and declares an emergency, making it effective immediately upon passage and approval.
