Utah law currently classifies someone as a "restricted person" barred from possessing dangerous weapons if they were found not guilty by reason of insanity or found mentally incompetent to stand trial for a felony-level offense. If passed, this bill would expand that restriction to apply regardless of the offense's severity, meaning a finding of not guilty by reason of insanity or mental incompetency in a misdemeanor case would also trigger the same weapons prohibition that currently only applies to felonies.
