SB 866 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Firearms; authorizing carry of a concealed handgun on public school property by certain personnel. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 866 allows specific public school personnel to carry concealed handguns on school property under strict conditions. It authorizes school boards to designate staff who hold a valid handgun license (after completing 24 hours of training including weapon retention and active shooter scenarios), an armed security guard license, or reserve peace officer certification. The bill requires ongoing training for these personnel and clarifies that schools adopting such policies are immune from liability for injuries arising from the policy, except in cases of gross negligence. It amends Oklahoma statutes to update rules for firearm carry on school grounds and removes previous storage requirements for concealed weapons on school property.
