Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation; modifying provisions related to certain payment process. Effective date.

SB 81 modifies Oklahoma statutes related to background checks for firefighters, handgun license renewals, and criminal history records. It requires municipal fire departments to conduct national criminal history checks using FBI fingerprint processing (with fees paid to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation), updates handgun license renewal procedures to include a 30-day grace period after expiration and allow digital applications with a $85 fee (double for 10-year licenses), and revises fee structures for criminal history record checks. The bill also removes outdated provisions about petty cash funds in criminal history records statutes. These changes directly affect firefighters applying for municipal positions, handgun license holders, and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in processing applications.
