Firearms; defining term; effective date.
HB 1624 amends Oklahoma's firearms law (21 O.S. § 1283) to clarify who may possess firearms after certain convictions. It restores firearm rights for individuals with a full pardon for nonviolent felonies (subsections A, B), while maintaining a 10-year possession ban for those adjudicated as delinquent children or youthful offenders (subsection D). The bill also defines key terms like "sawed-off shotgun" and "altered toy pistol" to reduce ambiguity in enforcement. It becomes effective November 1, 2025, directly affecting convicted felons, pardoned individuals, and youthful offenders.
