Firearms; prohibiting the establishment or enforcement of certain policy or rule; effective date.

HB 2824 prohibits businesses, property owners, and employers from creating or enforcing rules that ban people (except convicted felons) from storing firearms or ammunition in a locked motor vehicle on property designated for vehicles. The bill removes liability for entities that don’t restrict such storage and allows individuals to sue for violations, seeking damages, injunctions, and attorney fees. It specifically covers storage in locked vehicles on parking areas or property set aside for vehicles, while preserving existing rights to ban firearms on premises via posted signs. The law applies to all motor vehicles as defined by Oklahoma law, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It does not override specific prohibitions at public events or venues like sports fields during authorized events.
