HB 1990 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Firearms; defining term; effective date.

HB 1990 amends existing Oklahoma law regarding who is prohibited from possessing firearms and defines related terms. The bill clarifies that convicted felons, individuals on felony probation, and certain adjudicated delinquents or youthful offenders are generally prohibited from possessing firearms, with an exception for pardoned nonviolent felons. It also makes it unlawful for an alien illegally or unlawfully in the U.S. to possess firearms, classifying this as a misdemeanor. Furthermore, the bill creates a felony offense for handgun license holders who knowingly allow a prohibited person to possess a firearm, which also results in license revocation. The act defines terms like "sawed-off shotgun," "altered toy pistol," and "alternative court program."
