Bill > HB1990

This bill amends Oklahoma's existing law regarding firearms possession by convicted felons and delinquents by clarifying and expanding definitions of several key terms related to firearms and weapons. Specifically, the bill adds a new definition for "imitation pistol" as any pistol capable of causing fear that it is a real pistol, and reorganizes existing definitions of terms like "sawed-off shotgun", "altered toy pistol", "altered air pistol", and "alternative court program" into a more structured format with numbered subsections. The bill maintains existing restrictions on firearm possession for convicted felons, individuals on probation, and those previously adjudicated as delinquent, while providing some pathways for restoration of firearm rights, such as for those who have received a full pardon. The changes aim to provide more precise legal language around firearm restrictions and definitions, with the amendments set to take effect on November 1, 2025. The bill does not fundamentally alter the core prohibitions on firearm possession by certain individuals but instead focuses on refining the technical language of the existing statute.
