Militia; creating the Oklahoma State Guard and Militia Revitalization Act of 2025. Effective date.

SB 852 reorganizes Oklahoma's militia structure by creating a formal Oklahoma State Guard (OSG) as a distinct state military force separate from the National Guard. It expands eligibility to all able-bodied Oklahoma residents aged 16-70 who are U.S. citizens or intend to become citizens, requiring each county to establish an OSG unit with a coordinator. The bill allows members to use privately owned semiautomatic firearms meeting specific standards (e.g., >10-round magazines, ergonomic features) during service, and mandates state compensation for training attendance and activation. It also updates rules for membership, equipment, and emergency firearm use while removing previous age restrictions on militia service.
