Hazing; establishing reporting requirements for hazing incidents; effective date.

HB 3656 requires reporting of hazing incidents involving children under 18 to a new statewide hotline established by Oklahoma's Department of Human Services. School employees must report such incidents to the hotline and local law enforcement for students under 18, while reporting to law enforcement only for students aged 18 or older. The bill imposes criminal penalties for willful failure to report hazing (misdemeanor for initial failure, Class D1 felony for prolonged knowledge) and prohibits retaliation against reporters. This legislation expands existing child abuse and neglect reporting requirements to explicitly include hazing as a distinct reportable incident.
