AI Summary
This bill requires each public school district in Oklahoma to maintain a protocol for responding to students in mental health crisis, with the goal of preventing student suicide, self-harm, and harm to others. The protocol must be developed and implemented in partnership with local mental health treatment providers, and must include specific elements such as defining mental health crisis, identifying crisis signs, outlining response steps, and ensuring parent/guardian notification and consent. The bill also amends an existing law to require prior written notification to parents/guardians before administering the Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment Survey, and allows for an opt-out option. The bill provides an effective date of July 1, 2022 and declares an emergency.
