Senate Bill No. 768 amends existing laws in Oklahoma concerning the unlawful carry of firearms, specifically allowing licensed first responders, such as firefighters and emergency medical personnel, to carry handguns while performing their official duties. The bill facilitates intergovernmental agreements between political subdivisions and federally recognized Indian tribes, enabling first responders to carry firearms on tribal trust land. It also clarifies the conditions under which first responders may carry firearms in various locations, including schools and public properties, while updating statutory language and references.

Additionally, the bill makes several key changes to existing law, including the removal of restrictions on where firearms can be carried by first responders. It specifies that they may openly carry handguns on school property while performing their duties and modifies provisions regarding carrying firearms in public spaces like municipal parks and zoos. The bill also allows county sheriffs to authorize specific employees to carry concealed handguns within courthouses, with certain restrictions, and introduces a provision for first responders with valid handgun licenses to carry firearms while on duty. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2025, and includes minor textual adjustments, such as the insertion and deletion of the word "and" to connect various provisions.
