Firearms; modifying scope of lawful carry. Effective date.
SB 372 amends Oklahoma's firearm carry law to clarify where concealed or unconcealed weapons are prohibited. It specifies that "minimum-security" event properties must have an 8-foot metallic fence to restrict carry, and updates rules for schools and colleges (allowing concealed carry by designated staff with proper licenses, but not prohibiting it on campus). The bill also defines penalties as a $250 fine for violations of prohibited areas like government buildings or gambling venues. It does not change existing gun rights but refines restrictions on where firearms may be carried.

MINOR
The bill was revised to remove the House version's reference to a 2025 legislative session and update the bill's title to reflect Senate floor action. Substantively, the text was reorganized to align with Senate formatting standards, but the core legal provisions regarding where firearms are prohibited or permitted remain identical to the House version.
Scope change
The scope of the law regarding lawful and unlawful firearm carry remains unchanged; only the document structure and session references were modified.
TECHNICAL
Updated the header to reflect the Senate Floor Version and corrected the legislative session date from the 2026 House session to the 2025 Senate session.
Reorganized the bill text layout and removed specific House committee amendment markers to match standard Senate formatting.
