Bill overview
This bill amends Oklahoma state law to formally recognize physical therapists and occupational therapists as ‘teachers’ for benefits purposes within the state’s public school system. It adds definitions for these professions and grants them the same benefits as certified teachers, including those related to retirement and salary. The bill also establishes an effective date and declares an emergency to expedite its implementation.
