Education; State Board of Education; revocation and suspension of licenses and certificates; effective date; emergency.
HB 1013 limits the Oklahoma State Board of Education's authority to revoke or suspend teaching and school staff licenses to specific, narrow grounds: willful law violations, child abuse/neglect, moral turpitude, incompetency, or neglect of duty. It requires the Board to provide at least 10 days' notice before taking action and prohibits summary revocation except in emergencies defined by Oklahoma's Administrative Procedures Act. The bill directly affects licensed educators, administrators, and school personnel (like teachers, principals, and nurses) whose credentials could be impacted. This changes existing procedures by restricting the Board's discretion and adding procedural safeguards for license holders.
