Firearms; prohibiting governmental entities from contracting with companies under certain circumstances; codification; effective date.
HB 1231 requires Oklahoma state and local government entities to verify in contracts over $100,000 with companies employing 10+ people that the company does not discriminate against "firearm entities" (like manufacturers, retailers, or gun ranges) or "firearm trade associations." The bill mandates written proof that the company won't refuse business with these entities based solely on their status, with exemptions for sole-source contracts or when no compliant bids are received. It applies to all state government contracts and takes effect November 1, 2025, with oversight by the Central Purchasing Division.
