Firearms; creating the Firearm Preservation Act. Effective date.

SB 886, the Firearm Preservation Act, requires Oklahoma law enforcement agencies to auction firearms they obtain through court orders, estates, or forfeitures instead of destroying them. It mandates that these auctions be open only to individuals legally eligible to purchase firearms under state and federal law, with all proceeds funding agency operations. The bill prohibits liability for agencies if auctioned firearms are later used in incidents and requires detailed record-keeping for five years. It applies directly to state, county, and municipal law enforcement entities handling such firearms.
