The bill amends Section 1277 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the unlawful carry of firearms in certain places. Notably, it deletes restrictions on carrying firearms in structures owned or leased by governmental authorities for public business, and it renumbers the remaining provisions accordingly. The bill maintains prohibitions on carrying firearms in courthouses, schools, and certain public venues, while also allowing for concealed carry in municipal parks and zoos under specific conditions. Additionally, it clarifies that private schools can adopt policies permitting firearms on their property, provided they are licensed under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the penalties for violations of these provisions, establishing that individuals found in violation of specific subsections may face misdemeanor charges and fines. It also specifies exemptions for certain officials and employees, such as peace officers and elected county officials, allowing them to carry firearms in the course of their duties under defined circumstances. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
