Senate Bill No. 372 amends Section 1277 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which addresses unlawful carry of firearms in certain places. The bill modifies the scope of lawful carry by updating statutory language and making specific changes to the locations where carrying firearms is prohibited or allowed. Notably, it replaces the term "minimum-security" with "minimum security" in the context of events secured with specific provisions, and it adds a new provision allowing firearms to be carried in state-owned hotels, cabins, or lodges. Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals with a valid handgun license may carry concealed firearms in certain public areas, including properties adjacent to prohibited locations and designated parks, while also outlining the conditions under which firearms may be carried on school property.

The bill also establishes that private schools can adopt policies allowing the carrying of firearms on their property, provided they are licensed under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. Furthermore, it specifies that certain public officials, such as elected county officials and sheriff's employees, may carry concealed handguns in courthouses under specific conditions. The bill includes provisions for penalties for violations and clarifies that the law does not restrict the authority of educational institutions to take administrative action against students for violations. The act is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
