Bill > HB0534

This bill amends existing Utah law to provide immunity from civil and criminal liability for property occupants who allow individuals to lawfully possess firearms on their property, as long as the firearm is not discharged for an unlawful purpose. It also grants governmental entities, their officers, and employees immunity from lawsuits related to injuries or damages resulting from allowing individuals to possess firearms on government-owned or controlled property, provided the firearm is possessed lawfully and not discharged for an unlawful purpose. The bill clarifies that this immunity does not apply if the property occupant or governmental entity actively encourages or aids the firearm discharge for an unlawful reason, and it specifies an effective date of May 6, 2026.
