Bill Summary
General Description: This bill addresses background checks for firearms.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Utah law regarding firearm background checks by adding a definition for "NFA firearm," which refers to firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act, and by modifying the exemptions to the background check requirement for firearm sales. Specifically, the bill now exempts the sale or transfer of an NFA firearm to an individual if that individual has received an approved application for the firearm from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives within the preceding thirty days. Additionally, the bill clarifies that fees collected for criminal history background checks will be deposited into the General Fund as dedicated credits to cover the costs of administering the program. The bill is set to take effect on May 6, 2026.
