What This Bill Does
This bill amends provisions relating to those who are restricted persons regarding dangerous weapons.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- makes a person a restricted person if the person has been found not guilty by reason of insanity for any criminal offense, not just a felony level offense; and
- makes a person a restricted person if the person has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial for any criminal offense, not just a felony level offense.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current Utah law, people found not guilty by reason of insanity or mentally incompetent to stand trial are only barred from possessing dangerous weapons if their case involved a felony. This bill expands those restrictions to cover any criminal offense, regardless of severity, meaning a misdemeanor-level case can now trigger the same weapons prohibition.
