Bill Summary

An Act relating to torts; amending 76 O.S. 2021, Section 52.1, which relates to liability of firearm manufacturers; expanding scope of liability exemption to include component parts; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill expands the existing legal protection for firearm manufacturers, distributors, and sellers in Oklahoma, meaning they generally cannot be sued for injuries or damages resulting from the use of a firearm they lawfully sold. Previously, this protection applied only to the firearm itself, but this bill extends it to also cover "component parts for a firearm," which are the individual pieces that make up a gun. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that this exemption from liability now includes situations where a firearm is modified using aftermarket component parts by someone other than the original manufacturer, and it specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
