Children; modifying scope of certain definition; effective date.

HB 2737 amends Oklahoma's Children's Code to clarify definitions related to child welfare. The key change explicitly states that the code "shall not prohibit any parent from using ordinary force as a means of discipline, including spanking." This directly affects parents and child welfare systems by affirming parental disciplinary rights under state law. The bill also refines definitions for terms like "abuse" and "age-appropriate" activities but does not create new programs or funding. It focuses solely on defining existing legal standards within the Children's Code.
