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

SB 81 modifies payment processes for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) related to handgun license renewals and firefighter background checks. It clarifies that renewal fees ($85) can now be paid via credit card, electronic transfer, or check (previously limited to checks), and specifies that digital renewal applications require one passport photo while paper applications need two. The bill also doubles renewal fees for 10-year licenses ($170) and removes fingerprint search requirements during license renewals. These changes directly affect handgun license holders renewing or applying for licenses and municipal fire departments conducting criminal history checks. The bill repeals obsolete petty cash fund provisions in the statutes.
