A. Whenever it appears to any public school teacher that a

student may be under the influence of low-point beer as defined in

Section 163.2 of Title 37 of the Oklahoma Statutes, alcoholic

beverages as defined in Section 506 of Title 37 of the Oklahoma

Statutes or a controlled dangerous substance, as defined in Section

2-101 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, that teacher shall

report the matter, upon recognition, to the school principal or his

or her designee. The principal or designee shall immediately notify

the superintendent of schools or designee and a parent or legal

guardian of the student of the matter.

No officer or employee of any public school district or member

of any school board shall be subject to any civil liability for any

statement, report, or action taken in assisting or referring for

assistance to any medical treatment, social service agency or

facility or any substance abuse prevention and treatment program any

student reasonably believed to be abusing or incapacitated by the

use of low-point beer, alcoholic beverages or a controlled dangerous

substance unless such assistance or referral was made in bad faith

or with malicious purpose. No such officer or employee of any

public school district, member of any school board, school or school

district shall be responsible for any treatment costs incurred by a

student as a result of any such assistance or referral to any

medical treatment, social service agency or facility, or substance

abuse prevention and treatment program.

B. Every school district shall have and deliver to each

classroom teacher a written policy that such teachers shall follow

if they have a student who appears to be under the influence of low-

point beer, alcoholic beverages or a controlled dangerous substance

in their classroom. The written policy shall be developed by the

local superintendent of schools and adopted by the local board of

education. The provisions of subsection A of this section shall be

the minimum requirements of such written policy. The written policy

shall be filed with the office of the State Superintendent of Public

Instruction within ninety (90) days of the effective date of this

act. If such filing is not timely made, the public schools in such

school district shall lose their accreditation until the written

policy is filed.
