SB 768 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Firearms; authorizing licensed first responders to carry while performing official duties. Effective date.

SB 768 authorizes licensed firefighters and emergency medical personnel (EMTs) to carry firearms while performing official duties in Oklahoma. This bill amends Oklahoma law to explicitly include these first responders under existing exceptions for "peace officers," removing current restrictions that prevented them from carrying during work. It specifies that tribal trust land requires separate intergovernmental agreements between local governments and tribes. The law applies only to paid, licensed first responders - excluding volunteers - and updates statutory references to clarify the provision.
