Firearms; authorizing certain entities to adopt policy regarding the carry of weapons. Effective date.
SB 548 amends Oklahoma law to allow certain entities, like private schools and government properties, to create their own policies permitting firearm carry on their premises. It specifically enables private school governing bodies to adopt policies authorizing weapon possession on school property (with liability protection for the school) and allows school districts to designate staff with security licenses to carry on school grounds. The bill removes administrative fines for violations and clarifies that prohibited locations (like courthouses or public schools during events) remain off-limits unless an entity adopts a specific policy. It maintains existing prohibitions but gives more flexibility to institutions to set their own firearm rules within defined legal boundaries.
