Utah’s Constitutional Carry Bill Passes in the State Senate

On February 5, 2021, the Utah Senate passed HB 60, Utah’s Constitutional Carry bill. The bill is now in the process of being kicked back to the House for a concurrence vote before HB 60 lands on Governor Spencer Cox’s desk. 
 
The NRA-ILA explained what HB 60 does:

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.
