Firearms; clarifying manner in which firearms may be carried on public college, university, and technology center school property; effective date.

HB 1358 clarifies that public colleges, universities, and technology centers in Oklahoma cannot prohibit concealed handgun carry by licensed individuals on their property. It removes requirements for schools to notify police about concealed weapons, eliminates administrative fines for students or staff carrying concealed handguns, and allows institutions to seek damages if harmed by the policy. The bill specifically affects public post-secondary institutions and their students/staff with valid concealed carry permits, while maintaining existing restrictions on open carry and other prohibited locations. This amendment changes how schools manage firearm policies but does not alter rules for private schools or other public spaces.
