Private Sale of a Firearm Sunset Review Amendments

SB 14 permanently removes the sunset date for Utah's requirement that private firearm sellers conduct background checks before transferring a firearm. This bill amends Section 76-10-526.1 of Utah Code, which mandates background checks for private sales, by eliminating its scheduled repeal on July 1, 2025. The change makes the background check requirement permanent for private firearm transactions in Utah, directly affecting private sellers and buyers. The bill contains no new funding or substantive policy changes, only removing the expiration date and making technical updates. It takes effect on May 7, 2025.
