Bill Summary
Weapon Purchase Amendments
AI Summary
This bill amends Utah's existing law on criminal background checks for firearm purchases. It introduces a new waiting period of at least 10 days for the purchase of "assault weapons," which are defined as certain semi-automatic firearms with certain accessories. The waiting period does not apply to trades of assault weapons or purchases by individuals with valid concealed carry permits, law enforcement officers, or federal firearms licensees. The bill also increases the penalties for violations of the background check and waiting period requirements.
