HB 2960 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Torts; expanding scope of liability exemption to include component parts; effective date.

HB 2960 expands liability protection for firearm manufacturers, distributors, and sellers in Oklahoma. It broadens the existing exemption to cover injuries caused by aftermarket modifications using component parts (like triggers or barrels), not just complete firearms. The exemption now shields these businesses from lawsuits related to injuries or property damage stemming from how others use or modify firearms. The bill takes effect November 1, 2026.
