Bill > HB0128

This bill: modernizes and reorganizes Utah's weapons laws by recodifying existing statutes into a new, standardized format with clearer definitions and cross-references. Specifically, the bill moves weapons-related provisions from Title 76, Chapter 10 (Weapons) to a new Title 76, Chapter 11 (Weapons), updates and clarifies definitions for terms like "firearm," "dangerous weapon," and "restricted person," and makes numerous technical corrections to references across multiple sections of Utah Code. The bill introduces new sections defining categories of restricted persons (those prohibited from possessing firearms), establishes more precise rules about carrying firearms in different contexts (such as schools and airports), and updates provisions related to firearm sales, background checks, and transfers. The changes aim to improve the clarity and consistency of Utah's weapons laws while maintaining existing legal protections and restrictions. The bill does not fundamentally alter existing firearms regulations but provides a more organized and comprehensible legal framework for weapons-related statutes.
