The bill amends 21 O.S. 2021, Section 1277, which governs the unlawful carry of firearms in certain places. Key changes include the removal of a provision related to administrative fines for violations and the authorization for certain entities to adopt policies regarding the carrying of weapons. The bill updates statutory language and references, specifically changing the term "minimum-security" to "minimum security" in relation to event security provisions. It also clarifies that individuals with valid handgun licenses may carry firearms in designated areas, including private school properties, provided that the governing entities have adopted appropriate policies.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific exemptions for peace officers, judges, and certain county officials regarding the carrying of firearms in courthouses. It allows for the carrying of concealed weapons on private college and university properties if authorized by the governing entity's policy. The bill emphasizes that governing entities adopting such policies will not be liable for injuries arising from their implementation, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
