The bill amends 20 O.S. 2021, Section 129, to extend the authority to carry firearms to retired municipal judges, in addition to existing provisions for district court judges and retired district court judges. Specifically, it allows these retired judges to carry firearms throughout the state for personal protection, provided they have completed a handgun qualification course designed for court officials. The bill also includes provisions for the issuance of identification cards by the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training to verify the eligibility of these judges to carry firearms.

Additionally, the bill specifies that if a judge who has been issued an identification card becomes ineligible to carry a firearm, they must return the card to the Council. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2026.
