Firearms; modifying provisions related to storage of a firearm on certain property. Effective date.

SB 84 amends Oklahoma law to expand exceptions allowing firearms on school property. It adds new provisions permitting firearms in privately owned vehicles used solely for transporting students (not left unattended), firearms used in approved hunting training courses, and weapons carried by authorized personnel (like school security with specific licenses). Crucially, it allows private schools to adopt policies permitting firearms on their property or in school buses, granting the schools liability immunity from lawsuits unless due to gross negligence. This directly affects private schools, their governing entities, and individuals carrying firearms under approved school policies. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
