Firearms; modifying provisions related to storage of a firearm on certain property. Effective date.

SB 84 modifies Oklahoma's school firearm rules to expand exceptions for lawful firearm storage. It allows private schools to adopt policies permitting staff or students with valid Oklahoma Self-Defense Act licenses to carry firearms on campus, provided the school has a written policy and the firearm is stored locked and hidden when vehicles are unattended. The bill also adds new exceptions for firearms used in approved hunting training, ROTC activities (when unloaded), and school personnel with specific security licenses. These changes apply to both public and private schools, with violations punishable by a $250 fine. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
