Dangerous Weapons Amendments

Maddy summaryHB 133 clarifies and restructures Utah's firearm possession laws, primarily affecting residents aged 18-21 and 21+. It allows individuals 21 or older to openly carry, conceal carry without a permit, and possess firearms at home. For those aged 18-21, it permits possession at home and open carrying of unloaded firearms on public streets, but prohibits concealed carry and carrying loaded firearms on public streets. The bill also standardizes related code sections and coordinates with another firearms bill, without changing existing criminal penalties.

State Water Policy Amendments

Maddy summaryHB 41 amends Utah's state water policy to update the framework for managing water resources. It specifically adds requirements for groundwater quality protection, explicitly references "saved water" as a management tool, and mandates watershed monitoring in collaboration with local watershed councils. The bill also promotes regional approaches to water reuse, strengthens provisions for protecting Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, and Bear Lake, and emphasizes state water planning. These changes apply to all state agencies and water management efforts under Utah's water policy, without creating new funding or programs. The policy updates take effect May 7, 2025.

Joint Resolution-legislative Findings on State Sovereignty in Regard to Title IX

Maddy summaryThis joint resolution declares that Utah possesses the sovereign authority to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, asserting that new federal Title IX regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education constitute an overreach of federal power. The bill specifically identifies these regulations as conflicting with existing Utah laws regarding sex-designated athletic programs, privacy in facilities, campus speech rights, and abortion funding restrictions. By making these legislative findings, the document formally states that the federal directives infringe upon the state's right to govern its own education system and residents without federal interference.
