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 option for administrative fines or suspension of handgun licenses for violations.

Additionally, the bill provides immunity from liability for public and private educational institutions regarding accidental discharges or acts of self-defense involving firearms. It specifies that colleges and universities cannot establish policies that effectively prohibit licensed individuals from carrying firearms on their properties, while also allowing them to seek damages for any violations. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
