Firearms; modifying provisions related to transporting firearms in motor vehicles. Effective date.

SB 40 prohibits businesses, property owners, and employers from banning the transport or storage of firearms in locked vehicles (except for convicted felons) on their premises. It allows individuals to sue for violations, requiring courts to award damages, attorney fees, and injunctions against continued violations. The bill clarifies that businesses may still prohibit firearms on their property by posting signs, but cannot restrict locked vehicle storage. It amends Oklahoma statutes to remove liability for enforcing these provisions and aligns with existing property rights under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act.
