AI Summary
This bill amends an existing Oklahoma law, Section 1289.9 of Title 21, which currently prohibits carrying or using shotguns, rifles, or pistols while under the influence of alcohol or certain drugs, or when the aftereffects of prescribed medication impair behavior. The key change is that it now specifically defines being under the influence of alcohol for the purpose of this prohibition as having a blood or breath alcohol concentration of more than 0.08, which is the standard legal limit for driving under the influence in many places. The bill also clarifies that it remains unlawful to carry or use these firearms if the aftereffects of prescribed medication cause abnormal behavior. Finally, the bill specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
