OK SB1811

Amends Oklahoma's School Safety and Bullying Prevention Act to recognize students' "fundamental right" to use reasonable physical force for self-defense when attacked by another student exhibiting bullying or threatening behavior

Requires school district policies to confirm that students who witness physical attacks may use reasonable physical restraint to protect others, and that students found to have acted in self-defense shall not be reprimanded or disciplined

Mandates that school districts prohibit zero-tolerance disciplinary policies for bullying victims, defining "zero-tolerance" as automatic consequences like suspension or expulsion without case-by-case consideration

Requires school administrators to consider whether acts of school violence were committed in self-defense as an immediate response when determining disciplinary actions

Effective date of July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause allowing immediate effect upon passage and approval
