AI Summary
This bill mandates that beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, all public schools in Oklahoma, including charter and virtual charter schools, must provide annual, age-appropriate firearm safety instruction to students from the earliest suitable grade through twelfth grade. The Department of Education, in collaboration with the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (a state agency responsible for training law enforcement officers), will develop or approve a curriculum that covers topics such as safe firearm storage, school safety concerning firearms, and what to do if a student finds a firearm, emphasizing not to touch it and to immediately inform an adult. The instruction must remain neutral on political viewpoints regarding gun rights and the Second Amendment, and it is strictly prohibited from using live ammunition, live fire, or actual firearms. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
