Firearms; deleting certain restriction; effective date.
HB 1780 removes the prohibition on carrying firearms in school parking areas (both public and private schools) that previously existed under Oklahoma law. It modifies rules for private schools by allowing concealed carry in school parking lots if firearms are stored locked in vehicles when unattended. The bill also updates policies for private school buses, permitting licensed individuals to carry firearms on school transportation with adopted school policies. These changes specifically affect school parking lots, school buses, and private school transportation policies, while maintaining existing restrictions on carrying firearms inside school buildings or on college campuses.
