This bill proposes a legislative referendum to be submitted to the people of Oklahoma regarding a new felony offense related to controlled dangerous substances. Specifically, it creates a new law that makes it a felony for any person to unlawfully possess a controlled dangerous substance while also in possession of a firearm. Upon conviction, the penalty for this offense would be imprisonment for a term of up to five years in the custody of the Department of Corrections.
The bill includes a ballot title that will be presented to voters, summarizing the measure as adding a new section of law concerning controlled dangerous substances and establishing the felony offense. The referendum will be filed with the Secretary of State and presented to the Governor for approval or rejection at the next General Election.
