Firearms; clarifying scope of certain carry. Effective date.

SB 1741 clarifies and updates Oklahoma law regarding off-duty carry of firearms by full-time and reserve peace officers. It specifies that officers must wear uniform or carry official identification (badge, commission card, CLEET certification) when carrying approved weapons off-duty, and requires agencies to maintain and report authorized off-duty carriers to CLEET. The bill also creates an online application process through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for officers to obtain a handgun license under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, waiving standard requirements like background checks if the officer already has them from employment. This directly affects all commissioned peace officers in Oklahoma seeking off-duty carry authorization.
