Bill > HB2028

This bill amends Oklahoma's sales tax code to create new sales tax exemptions for specific firearm-related products and equipment. Specifically, the bill provides sales tax exemptions for gun safes (defined as secure storage containers designed specifically to store firearms and ammunition), firearm ammunition (including bullets, cartridge cases, propellent, and primers), and firearms along with their optics and direct attachments. The firearm definition is broad, encompassing handguns, rifles, shotguns, automatic and semi-automatic weapons, while optics and direct attachments include items like scopes, red dot sights, laser sights, foregrips, bipods, muzzle devices, lights, and sling mounts. The exemption will apply to these items when purchased within the state of Oklahoma, effectively reducing the cost for consumers by eliminating the sales tax on these specific firearm-related products. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025, giving retailers and consumers time to prepare for the new tax exemptions.
