Firearms; prohibiting certain adjudicated delinquents from possessing or purchasing firearms. Effective date.

SB 769 prohibits juveniles adjudicated for violent crimes (as defined in Oklahoma Statutes §571) from possessing or purchasing firearms until they turn 25. It requires juvenile courts to notify offenders of this restriction before accepting guilty pleas or after adjudication, and mandates electronic submission of court records to the FBI’s background check system within 10 business days. The bill also establishes a process for individuals aged 19+ (with one year since their last adjudication) to petition a court for reinstatement of firearm rights, considering factors like post-adjudication behavior. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
