Welcome to The Senate Site

Senator Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, introduced her bill, S.B. 11, on the Senate floor this morning. The bill is titled "Utah State-Made Firearms Protection Act", but Sen. Dayton clarified that the bill is not about guns, but is about bringing the governing power back to the states.

"This bill does not really fit into the gun bill category. Although this bill does address guns, this bill is about our state's immutable right to establish control of our own rules and laws in our state," said Sen. Dayton.

S.B. 11 is worded that "a firearm or one of various firearm-related items manufactured in the state for in-state use is not subject to federal firearms laws and regulations" but would be controlled by the state. Sen. Dayton's bill passed the Second Reading Calendar this morning. You can watch her speech on S.B. 11 on the video below.
