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 convicted felons from possessing firearms. It introduces new provisions 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. The bill also specifies that individuals convicted of certain nonviolent offenses, such as child endangerment and domestic abuse, are ineligible for rights restoration.

Additionally, the bill updates statutory language and references, clarifying the definitions of firearms and the conditions under which individuals may possess them. It establishes that individuals on probation or under alternative court programs are prohibited from possessing firearms, and it outlines penalties for those who violate these provisions. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
