This bill makes numerous technical amendments to Utah's weapons laws, primarily by reorganizing and renumbering existing statutes related to firearms and dangerous weapons. Here's a summary of the key provisions: This bill comprehensively reorganizes Utah's weapons statutes, moving many provisions from Title 76, Chapter 10 (Weapons) to a new Title 76, Chapter 11 (Weapons). The bill makes several important changes, including updating definitions for terms like "firearm," "dangerous weapon," and "restricted person," and establishing two categories of restricted persons (Category I and Category II) with different restrictions and penalties for possessing weapons. The bill clarifies rules around carrying firearms, including provisions for individuals under 21 years old, and creates new sections dealing with selling weapons to restricted persons. It also updates references to weapons offenses across multiple sections of Utah law, such as juvenile court proceedings, criminal background checks, and expungement procedures. The bill maintains existing protections around weapons in sensitive locations like schools and airports, while providing more detailed guidelines for weapon possession and transfer. Additionally, the bill includes technical amendments to ensure consistency across different sections of Utah law, particularly in how weapons-related offenses are defined and prosecuted.
