Bill No. 1990 amends Section 1283 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the possession of firearms by convicted felons and delinquents. The bill clarifies the definitions of certain terms related to firearms, including "sawed-off shotgun," "altered toy pistol," "altered air pistol," and "imitation pistol." It also specifies that individuals previously convicted of nonviolent felonies who have received a full pardon may regain their right to possess firearms and apply for handgun licenses. Additionally, the bill outlines restrictions on firearm possession for individuals on probation, those adjudicated as delinquents, and illegal aliens.

The amendments include the insertion of definitions for various types of firearms and the removal of outdated terminology. The bill emphasizes the legal consequences for individuals who violate these provisions, including felony charges for allowing prohibited individuals to possess firearms and misdemeanor charges for illegal aliens found in possession of firearms. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
