Bill > SB0086

This bill amends existing Utah law regarding the voluntary surrender of firearms to law enforcement for safekeeping, primarily by changing how records related to these surrenders are handled and by introducing a temporary data collection and reporting requirement. Specifically, it mandates that law enforcement agencies must destroy records associated with firearm safekeeping immediately upon the firearm's return or disposal, and these records are considered private until destroyed. However, from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2028, law enforcement agencies will be required to collect and report anonymized, aggregate data on firearm safekeeping requests, the number of firearms received, and their disposition to the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, which will then report this compiled data to a legislative committee. The bill also clarifies that these data collection and reporting provisions will be repealed on July 1, 2029.
