This bill amends Section 1277 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the unlawful carry of firearms, specifically clarifying the regulations surrounding the carrying of firearms on public college, university, and technology center school properties. Key changes include the authorization for individuals with valid handgun licenses to carry concealed handguns on these properties, while allowing institutions to prohibit certain individuals from carrying firearms into event venues. The bill also removes the requirement for written consent from school administrators for carrying firearms and eliminates the authority to notify the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation of violations, along with administrative fines and the option to suspend handgun licenses.

Additionally, the bill provides immunity from liability for public and private colleges and universities regarding accidental discharges or acts of self-defense involving firearms. It defines the term "event venue" and establishes that colleges and universities can seek damages under certain circumstances. The legislation also clarifies that it does not limit the rights of private institutions to control weapon possession on their properties. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
