[Charlie T Waite]

House Bill 60 passed the Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Standing Committee with a technical amendment by a vote of 5-2-1. It will now head to the Senate Floor for consideration. Use the take action button below to contact your senator and encourage them to support this important legislation! 

House Bill 60, sponsored by Representative Walt Brooks (R-75), allows a law-abiding adult to carry a concealed firearm in the State of Utah, without first needing to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do so.
