Senate Bill No. 381 amends existing laws regarding firearm possession for individuals with felony convictions and delinquents in Oklahoma. The bill modifies Section 1283 of Title 21, which previously prohibited individuals convicted of felonies from possessing firearms. The amendments introduce new subsections that allow individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies to have their rights restored under certain conditions, such as receiving a full pardon or completing their sentence without further convictions for five years. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain nonviolent felony offenses, including child endangerment and domestic abuse, disqualify individuals from having their firearm rights restored.

The bill also updates statutory language and references, clarifying the definitions of terms related to firearms and the conditions under which individuals may possess or carry firearms. It establishes that individuals on probation or under alternative court programs are prohibited from possessing firearms, and it outlines penalties for violations of these provisions. The effective date for the bill is set for November 1, 2025.
