Firearms; prohibiting carry at certain locations during an election. Effective date.

SB 512 prohibits carrying any firearm (concealed or unconcealed) within 300 feet of polling places during elections operated by state, county, or local election boards. This applies to all individuals, including those with valid handgun licenses, and directly affects voters, poll workers, and anyone near polling locations on election days. The bill amends Oklahoma law to add this restriction as a new exception to existing firearm carry rules, updating Section 1277 of the Oklahoma Statutes. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, with violations punishable by a $250 fine or removal from the area.
