Senate Bill No. 462 authorizes retired municipal police officers in Oklahoma to retain custody and possession of their municipal-issued firearm and badge, provided they submit a written request to the head of their law enforcement agency. The bill outlines specific exceptions where the request may be denied, including situations where the officer is not in good standing, has been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude, is mentally incapacitated, or if granting the request would be detrimental to public health, safety, and welfare.

Additionally, the bill allows for the custody and possession of the firearm and badge to be awarded to the spouse or next of kin of a deceased officer prior to retirement, in accordance with the agency's policy. This new law is set to be codified as Section 34-109 of Title 11 of the Oklahoma Statutes and will take effect on November 1, 2025.
