Description: Bills that make statute worse
and violate UT Gun Rights'
Affirmative Agenda.

Briefing
SB 214 |
Priority Threat:
Veterans Disarmament Courts. As if Utah's
Soviet-style "drug courts" weren't heinous enough,
these new "veterans courts" would target veterans for
abusive "collaboration" campaigns between various
anti-gun state and federal agencies. |
ENACTED:

Briefing
HJR 7 S1 |
Priority Threat:
Convention to Finish Destroying the U.S. Constitution.
Calls for a convention of the
states, with delegates likely chosen by the corrupt
federal congress.
These delegates could rewrite or abolish the U.S.
constitution and its "Bill of Rights" to include the right to keep
and bear arms. Convention decisions could be ratified by
whoever—and however—the delegates choose; entirely bypassing state
legislatures if they desire. |

Empowering Bureaucrats to Stall Freedom of

SB 228 |
Reaffirm Executive Monarch's Martial Law
Powers. Currently, when the "governor"
declares a "state of emergency, he can arbitrarily suspend
misdemeanors — including those perpetrated by
government agents — if they somehow relate to broad
categories of "food, health, or transportation". This
bill further loosens the reporting requirements
he previously had to follow in order to exercise this
potentially-vast power. |

 "Ugly" Bills
Description: Bills
that are poorly-written, harmful distractions.
Did anyone ever take you on a
snipe hunt as a child, chasing after an imaginary and
ever-elusive target you could never find? It is a timeless and
effective tactic of professional manipulators to
send well-intentioned citizens on snipe hunts as a diversion.
The justifiable emotion and energy of
the citizen regarding an issue of importance is captured and
applied to a task that can't or won't be accomplished — or is
useless in its effect. The status quo is thereby preserved
and injustice is advanced.

Ugly
Bill |
Brief Description |
Status |
Last
Updated
|
|
HB 150 |
Refuse Some Cooperation with NSA's Big Brother
Spy Program... Maybe. Theoretically prohibits
certain local government entities and agencies from
providing certain services to federal agencies that
broadly collect and store private citizen information
without warrants, presumably cuts state funding to
those local agencies that collaborate with the enemy,
and invites citizens to independently initiate (likely
expensive) court action to attempt to force local
agencies to cease such collaborations. Aside from many
vagaries, the bill provides
no criminal penalties for state agents who refuse to
cut off funding to local agencies, for judges who
refuse to force compliance, and for local agents who
willfully continue to collaborate. |
DEAD |
3/13 at 12:00p |
|
HB 167 |
Pretend to Reform Property Confiscation
Statutes. Leaves open the ability for state
agents to utilize huge federal multi-jurisdictional
task force loopholes to abuse innocent citizens as
usual. |
DEAD |
3/13 at 12:00p |
|
HB 212 |
Beg an Unaccountable Bureaucrat for Permission
to Fire Tracer or Incendiary Rounds.
Under this bill, you could only fire such rounds "with
the written permission of the director of the Division
of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands, given upon written
request, if the director specifies a limited period of
time and a limited area in which the ammunition may be
use..." How magnanimous. |

"BB
Gun" Herbert |
3/25 at 5:30p |
|
HB 300 |
Redefines a "concealed dangerous weapon" definition
and penalties to include only concealed firearms.
Statuted would no longer criminalize the concealed
carry of a knife, sap, or other such devices. Beyond
that the language merely perfects other injustices in
state statute. Instead of perfecting injustice,
statutators should clearly eliminate injustices. |
DEAD:
Passed house, passed senate committee; died awaiting
senate floor action |
3/13 at 12:00p |
|
HB 308 S1 |
Police Might Eventually Return Seized Property
(if they want to). Rather than require
police to promptly return seized property, including
firearms and ammunition, that is unrelated to their
investigation, this bill tells police they "may"
return it whenever they might feel like it.
Another slap in the face of gun owners. |
DEAD |
3/25 at 5:30p |

Excuse Us While We Find Ourselves Guiltless.

Pretty Please, Mister Dictator?
Adds language allowing a court to take evidence
regarding a person's reputation and character to the
provisions for removal from the National Instant Check
System (NICS) database. So? Is that going to make
Utah's anti-gun courts listen? Individuals must be
found guilty, or unfit, by a jury of their peers,
before their natural rights are deprived them. |

Drawing Near to the Magna Carta with their
Lips, But Their Hearts are Far From It. This
resolution boldly applauds the 800th anniversary of
the Magna Carta, by the same statutators who regularly
deny some of the basic rights guaranteed by it, to
include the right of free citizens to receive a trial
by a jury of their peers prior to being permanently
deprived of their natural rights. |

Tracking Instructions
Bills may, or may not, feature a briefing, indicated in bold
in the left column.
Each bill number links to its official bill documents page.
From there you can read the actual
bill language and view other pertinent information. The
"Status" feature indicates where
the bill is in the statutory process and leads to actual
floor vote details.
From the officials documents page, you can also sign up to
receive e-notification of changes made to the bill or
bill status. This is a convenient feature, though not always as
timely or reliable as it ought to be.
Bills can be substituted and/or amended, and this is
indicated at the top of its page.
