Bill > SB2096

This bill modifies existing Oklahoma law regarding firearms for convicted felons and delinquents, aiming to update statutory references and clarify certain provisions. It amends laws related to Class B4 offenses, which are serious criminal offenses, by updating the effective date for their inclusion and ensuring that references to "Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes" are correctly updated to "this title" for consistency. The bill also adjusts rules concerning the unlawful carry of firearms, allowing for the transportation of firearms in vehicles by individuals aged 21 and older, or by those aged 18-20 who are members or veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and otherwise legally permitted to possess firearms, provided they are not carrying the firearm in furtherance of a crime. Crucially, it modifies provisions for convicted felons and those previously adjudicated as delinquents, specifically addressing the possession of firearms in vehicles and at residences, and introduces new conditions for the restoration of firearm rights for individuals who have completed their sentences for nonviolent felonies and have maintained a clean record for five years. Additionally, the bill updates the mandatory preclusions for obtaining a handgun license, aligning them with the revised provisions for convicted felons and delinquents and clarifying the conditions under which these rights can be restored. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
